Based out of Glasgow, UK, Seòras Rae is a British Muslim sculptor. His practise is dedicated to the field of public art as a site of knowledge transfer.

Seòras’s practise has been developed though an academic understanding of craft, performance and the Land Art. His work has utilised a wide range of mediums from Bronze and wood to AV and Concrete.

Raes work is an exploration of storytelling and the retelling of histories both political and personal. The work is created to inform, teach and inspire. Presently his work wishes to champion accessibility of sculpture, oppose the death of craft and figuration and present the relevance of figurative study as a contination for the continual (re)mapping of human histories.

Seò was trained in the practice of lost wax and chisello under the master Mario Conti at Fonderia Battaglia Milano IT, was the studio assistant to Alison Wilding and Susan Hiller and completed an MA in Contemporary Art Practise at the Royal College of Art UK. During the early stages of his career Rae was a member of a post-national art collective called WAN (we are nowhere / now here).
WAN was a integral part of Rae’s development as an artist and facilitated his critical and cultural understanding of architecture, illustration, philosophy, pop and queer.

Rae is a Gaidhlig speaker and musician, whos compositions explore ritual and community as experienced in piobaireach and lithurgy; applied as analogue left-field music.
