Adrian Gray (born in Bristol in 1961) is a British artist who creates stone balancing sculptures. His career started in 2002.[1][2]

Gray's work is predominantly sculpture based on balancing natural elements. He creates sculptures using naturally weathered stone, usually on location by the coast.

To show live examples of his work Gray performs demonstrations where he creates new sculptures on site. Gray's sculptures for the garden and indoors are previously balanced compositions fixed permanently in position.

Since 2015 he has also been creating monumental sculptures weighing many tons, balancing them with large cranes. The owners of the sculptures receive a film of their creation.

In 2015 a book about Gray's work was published in the UK. "The Art of Stonebalancing" includes his biography plus photographs by Gray and other photographers.[3]
