Open EventOn CampusUndergraduatePostgraduateResearchLanguages and CulturesChester Ideas

Stephen Broadbent is a leading British sculptor who has produced public works across the UK and for international audiences too. Closer to home, Stephen is the artist behind 'A Celebration of Chester' which stands outside Chester Town Hall and the marvellous 'Water of Life' sculpture that sits within the cloisters of Chester Cathedral. In this talk, Stephen will be drawing on over 40 years experience of working as an artist, sculptor and designer. During his presentation, he will also reflect on the ways in which he has reconciled a Christian world view to the contemporary culture in which he lives and works.
