GALLERY PANGOLIN
Terence Coventry
Sculptor
25th February - 26th April
■ Gallery Pangolin has represented Terence Coventry for almost thirty years,
and hosted his very first solo show in 1999.
■ Very much ‘hands on’,
Coventry made his sculpture
not in a traditional artist’s studio
but in a workshop akin to that
of an engineer or blacksmith.
Rooted in a strong figurative
tradition, his sculpture exists in
spite of any vagaries or trends
in the art world and is an
intensely personal art, practical
and unpretentious, honest and
imbued with great integrity.

■ This major retrospective exhibition also sees
the launch of a fully illustrated Catalogue
Raisonné of Coventry’s sculpture, an
indispensable reference tool for art lovers,
collectors and dealers.
■ Always taking his inspiration from the
natural world, the way in which Coventry
deftly transformed an assemblage of shapes
into a familiar bird, beast or body is part of
the magic of his art.
■ The exhibition includes key works from
all periods using a variety of media, and
demonstrates Coventry’s preoccupation
with the natural world and Man’s relationship
to its inhabitants.

Terence Coventry
Sculptor
25th February - 26th April
■ ‘Although Terence Coventry is often
categorised as a farmer turned sculptor,
this shorthand does not do justice to
the varied and complex story which
emerges the moment one dips below
the surface. His complete conviction
in changing career, combined with
purposefulness and dedication to
his new pursuit and the rapidity with
which he developed his own sculptural
language, created a niche that was
and remains entirely his own.’
