Paul Mount moved to St. Just in 1962 and set up a studio in the Cornish community that included Barbara Hepworth, Denis Mitchell and John Milne. Initially working in cast iron and bronze, Mount adopted stainless steel as his favoured medium and produced spatially engaging sculptures of great beauty and poise. His first solo exhibition was at the Drian Gallery in London and his appreciation of large scale sculpture as architectural enhancement led to numerous commissions in Plymouth, Bristol and London.
As with many of Mount's sculptures, the moveable elements in Vertical Forms invite the viewer to interact by re-arranging the balance between space and structure.
