Guy Portelli (born 13 June 1957) is a contemporary British sculptor, and former winner of Dragons' Den (UK) in 2008. ==Life== He was born in South Africa in 1957, but moved permanently to England with his parents in 1969, who had each come earlier to Britain to study as art students. Guy lived largely with his grandfather in Southend during the initial move. The family moved to Tonbridge in the early 1970s, where he still lives. He studied at the Hugh Christie School in Tonbridge. He left school at 16 to study at Medway College of Art. Originally studying interior design this changed to a focus upon sculpture in his second year. Whilst at college he started his own business, designing theatre sets, employing around 20 persons. Upon graduation he found work designing hotel interiors but continued a part-time course in sculpture at Chelsea Art College (where his parents had studied). In the late 70s he found employment at the BBC’s special effects department, working on sets for both Doctor Who and Blake's 7. Guy’s father, of Maltese ancestry, had success as a cameraman and film-maker, and died in 1974, when Guy was only 17. Guy’s own son died aged only 13. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guy Portelli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
