Biography: David Backhouse (b.1941) Sculptor in bronze, born in Corsham, Wiltshire. Studied at West of England College of Art, Bristol, and became a fellow of RBS and member of SPS and RWA. Backhouse taught sculpture in Bristol for a time, then worked extensively abroad: in 1971 in Luxembourg, portrait heads of Prince Charles of Luxembourg and family; in 1972 in Rome and Florence, bronze casting. Among assignments completed were portrait head of the conductor Colin Davis, collection of Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, 1974; sculpture for Mercantile and General Reinsurance Company, Cheltenham, 1977–8; and life-size, three-figure bronze fountain for John Perkins, 1979. Exhibitions included Lad Lane Gallery, Dublin, 1975; Alwin Gallery, 1979; retrospective at Century Galleries, Henley-on-Thames, 1980; and Orangery, Holland Park, 1981. RWA holds his work and included him in its 1st Open Sculpture Exhibition, 1993. In 2002, David Backhouse was chosen as the sculptor of a memorial to animals used by British forces in wartime, a £1 million fund campaign being launched by the novelist Jilly Cooper. Supported by the Animals in War Memorial Fund and sited at Brook Gate, Park Lane, on the edge of Hyde Park, the design featured two heavily laden, lifesize mules struggling towards a Portland stone wall engraved with many other animals. It was unveiled in 2004. There was an exhibition of studies and maquettes for the memorial in 2005 at the Sladmore Gallery. Backhouse lived at Lullington, near Frome, Somerset.
