The Artisan Exposé

ALASTAIR GIBSON - CARBON ART 45
ENGINEERING INSPIRED SCULPTURE

The Artisan Exposé invites you behind the scenes with Britain’s most compelling creators. This feature captures the world of Alastair Gibson - a pioneer in carbon fibre sculpture and one of the leading artists working with the material today.

After 22 years at the highest level of Formula One, including ten years as Chief Mechanic within the BAR and Honda F1 team, Alastair brings a level of precision and material understanding rarely seen in contemporary sculpture. His work transforms carbon fibre from a material defined by speed and performance into something permanent, sculptural and collectable. Rooted in Formula One heritage, original F1 components are integral to much of his practice, with each piece carrying its own story and provenance.

Selected by Silverstone to design and create the 2024 Formula 1 Qatar Airways British Grand Prix trophies, his work represents a full-circle moment - from operating at the highest level of motorsport to shaping the symbol of victory itself. He has also been commissioned by the National Spitfire Project to produce a collection of carbon fibre Spitfire sculptures, reinforcing the reach of his work beyond the gallery space.

At the forefront of his practice sits Carbon David - a monumental solid carbon fibre sculpture standing 3.7 metres tall and weighing 470 kilograms, constructed from over 7,000 individual layers of carbon fibre across 64 precision-formed blocks. Engineered as a reconfigurable work, it moves beyond static sculpture - designed to be adapted, evolved and experienced rather than simply observed.
