Teresa Wells MRSS

This artist accepts commissions

Mediums Used

bronze (foundry cast), Bronze steel, Bronze, Foundry Bronze, Lost Wax Bronze, available in Foundry Bronze, cast bronze,

I obtained a first class honors degree in Fine Art from Nottingham Trent University, 1996, and undertook postgraduate studies at Loughborough University, where my tutors included John Atkin FRBS and Dan Archer FRBS.
I have worked on large-scale sculptures 4 meters high and at a more intimate scale 30 cm in mixed media. Inspiration comes from the dynamic movements and resulting shapes produced by the human body particularly from athletes and dancers. Trained originally as an illustrator, I work in a Baroque style. Influenced by Bernini, Anthony Gormley, Anish Kapoor, Cathy de Monchaux, Leonardo Da Vinci and Grayson Perry. Currently working in bronze I like to place figurative forms in precarious positions using strong geometric steel shapes as supports.

I work to commission with clients including Juliet Sargeant, Blue Peter, BBC1 and Netflix, ‘The Robert T. Webb Sculpture Park’, (permanent collection), Georgia, USA, Stonewater Housing, AK designs, Best and Lloyd Lighting Design Ltd. and various private clients.

I am inspired by a moral upbringing and ethical consciousness, fascinated by the question “How do humans behave?”
Through the medium of sculpture I explore the tenuous relationship between our fragile inner self and confident outer persona.
The flaws that are inherent in all of us, and how we survive despite these, intrigue me most. It is after all our whole selves that make us compelling.

Reviews

"Every person seeks to present the very best of themselves. Hundreds of years ago it was in grand self-portraits and today it's through carefully curated social media profiles. But this isn't who we really are.

Teresa Wells' art recognizes that when we're alone and unsure of ourselves, that's when our true humanity comes through. It's our wholes selves that make us beautiful - complete with frailties, emotions and imperfections. We don't survive in spite of our flaws, but because of them. Her work captures this duality of the inner and outer self that exists in all of us.

Whether it be a body arching backwards or one perched on the edge of a ledge, there's a dynamism and passion in each wonderfully detailed sculpture Wells creates."
