Terence Coventry
Terence Coventry studied at Stourbridge School of Art and the Royal College, London.
Rooted in a strong figurative tradition, his sculpture exists in spite of any vagaries or trends in the art world. His is an intensely personal art, practical and unpretentious, honest and imbued with great integrity. Coventry’s work explores animals familiar to us: birds, bulls, cows and boars, images drawn from his long association with the land and its occupants. These are not idealised portraits of champion show animals nor nostalgic images from a rural past; his sculpture celebrates our interdependence with the animal world and that makes his subjects relevant to us. We recognise and feel connected to them.
Coventry exhibits widely and regularly and has had several major solo shows over the past five years. Many of his sculptures are held in public and private collections both in Britain and USA.
