British artist James Doran-Webb is set to debut his first solo exhibition with the venerable UK gallery Gladwell and Patterson during Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week 2026. Known for his intricate wildlife sculptures crafted from reclaimed driftwood, Doran-Webb’s practice transforms weathered, inanimate natural materials into dynamic animal forms such as horses, owls, and meerkats. The presentation will pair these contemporary sculptures with Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings to create an immersive environment.
Doran-Webb’s work highlights the intersection of sustainability, craftsmanship, and the relationship between humanity and the natural world. By applying his background in antique restoration and cabinet making to idiosyncratic natural materials, he addresses modern dialogues around materiality and environmental consciousness. This exhibition marks a significant moment for the artist’s international profile, placing his labor-intensive, eco-centric sculptures within the context of a high-profile luxury art event.
