SUMMARY:Ronald Moody: Sculpting Life
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition \nRonald Moody: Sculpting Life brings
  the work of the Jamaican-born\, West London–based sculptor back to 
 the city where he lived\, worked and carved for more than half a centu
 ry. Touring from The Hepworth Wakefield\, this major exhibition showc
 ases the breadth of Moody’s practice across sculpture\, poetry\, w
 riting and audio broadcasts. The show offers an expansive view of one 
 of the most important yet historically overlooked artists of the twentie
 th century. \nMoody’s story is one of continual reinvention. Trained 
 initially in dentistry\, his encounters with Egyptian sculpture in the
  British Museum led him to teach himself carving. He developed a sculp
 tural language that blended Modernism\, spirituality and a deep engage
 ment with global mythologies. From the wooden figures he made in the 19
 30s to his post‑war experimentation with concrete and resin\, Moody’
 s practice reveals a lifelong commitment to exploring human experience t
 hrough form\, rhythm and material. \nThe exhibition traces this journ
 ey in full\, from his early London and Paris years to the wartime period
  that shaped some of his most striking work. \n\n\n\n‘Anything I do
 \, I&nbsp\;have to&nbsp\;feel as well.&nbsp\;It’s&nbsp\;a kind of feel
 ing and seeing in one…’&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nRonald Moody interview with Sy
 lvia Moore\, 1977&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition also features Legacy&nb
 sp\;Projects\,&nbsp\;a programme of contemporary artist commissions crea
 ted for Orleans House Gallery. New works by&nbsp\;Kedisha Coakley\, Dext
 er McLean and Kat Francois&nbsp\;respond to Moody’s ideas and artistic
  legacy\, continuing a conversation about his place within British and i
 nternational art history today.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nMore Moody resources:\n\n\
