Sculpture in Focus
A Sculptural Journey Through Lewes

A gentle walk through historic Lewes during Artwave this year will reveal a plethora of local talent. In collaboration with Lewes District Council, local sculptors have come together to create a meandering journey of discovery.

Starting off with Blackdog Studios on Brookes Road, Will Nash and Gavin Peacock have created a vibrant and challenging exhibition, exploring themes of deconstruction, and creation.

Next on Viper's Wharf, on Railway Lane, right in the heart of town Andrew Wood is showing his colourful and exciting recent works.

Walking up the High Street to the artist's collective at the Chalk Gallery, at 4 North Street, sculptor Lou Johns is showing her slender human forms, filled with strength and vitality, and Michele Findlay her imaginative and expressive figures.

From here to HQ Gallery, on St John‘s Street where Paul Amey is exhibiting his limited edition animal bronzes, Lucia Corrigan her playful metal mache animals, and Pippa Burley is revealing her largest figurative sculpture to date; The Lovers.

Just round the corner at talented painter Peter Cheek's house on St John's Hill, further examples of Pippa Burley's sensual, expressive studies and figurative works can be found.

From here to The Star Brewery, on Fisher Street, where Stephen Postgate is showing his beautiful glazed sculptures to compliment Mo Mohamid's delightful ceramics.

Also at the Star Chris Furner is showing in the Hop Gallery a variety of thought provoking, hand-carved pieces.

And finally back onto the High Street to reach Pelham House, on St Andrews Lane, a majestic setting for an exciting exhibition of established local sculptors including Stephanie Davies Arai, and Christian Funnell.
