Terry New

Terry New comes with a natural talent honed at an impressive selection of Art Academia; Wimbledon School of Art, Hornsey College of Art and the Royal College of Art. He has been invited to exhibit extensively in Australia, Britain, Italy and France and features prominently in “Modern British Sculpture” the book of sculptors of 20th Century by Guy Portelli. He was elected President of the RBS in 2013.

“The themes of my recent work have been formed by my time spent working and living in Western Australia. The rich unique forms of the flora and the primordial power of the landscape made a lasting impression. The forces of nature were apparent in a direct, dramatic and emotionally powerful way. The snese of insignificance of being totally at the mercy of natural forces was overwhelming. Something I had not experienced since my childhood days walking and climbing in Wales.

In recent work, the power of nature – with it destructive and creative forces are still a continuous source of inspiration. When making, I do not work directly from nature. Indeed in sculptural terms, it is not the appearance of nature that interests me. Rather it is the feelings and emotions generated in the imagination, which can be distilled through line, plane, mass and colour between image and object, and evoke associations that crystallize arround a theme or inter- related themes.”
