"Interested in architectural colour relationships... sculptures look like relics from a lost civilization"

Thomas Povey is a painter and sculptor based in Devon, England. His oil paintings have strong geometric themes exploring architectural use of colour. He is influenced by the Group of Seven (the Algonquin School) and the Scottish Colourists. ​His sculptures use natural materials like stone, glass, lime and clay to create works which convey a sense of timelessness and permanence. They look like they have been unearthed from the desert sands, like relics from a lost civilization. His unique construction processes involve molten glass, sedimentation, carving, burial, drowning,  weathering and unearthing. The resulting forms are eroded by time.  They are made in small numbered editions, but due to the unusual manufacture process each sculpture in the edition has unique character.
