Item Description
A highly expressive mid-20th century fired clay (terracotta) head sculpture by Cicely Dewe, exhibited at the Southampton Art Gallery as part of the Wessex Artists’ Exhibition, 1966.
The work retains its original exhibition label, providing valuable provenance and firmly situating the piece within the post-war British studio art movement.
Sculpted in coarse, heavily textured fired clay, the form sits between portraiture and abstraction, with an organic, almost geological surface that reflects the artist’s exploration of natural structure and material. The deeply worked surface, weathered patina, and expressive modelling give the piece a strong sculptural presence.
An unusual and characterful example of mid-century British studio ceramic sculpture, ideal for collectors of modernist or regional British art.
Overall: W: 23 x D: 18 x H: 33 cm / Base: W: 14 x D: 14 cm
