Bowman Sculpture Exhibition Traces British Sculpture from Modernism to Today

Bowman Sculpture in London presents "Modern British: Modern & Contemporary British Sculpture," a group exhibition running through May 29, 2026. The show features a dozen artists, from modern masters like Henry Moore to emerging talents such as Rufus Martin and Joanna Allen. Highlights include Moore's "Small Seated Figure" (conceived ca. 1936, cast 1957), Eduardo Paolozzi's "Richard Rogers as Newton" (1990, numbered 3/6), and Lynn Chadwick's "Maquette Two Sitting Figures" (conceived 1971). The gallery, founded in 1993 by Michele and Robert Bowman and now co-helmed with their daughter Mica Bowman, originally focused on modern masters like Degas, Picasso, and Moore, but has expanded to include contemporary artists. Joanna Allen, represented by the gallery, had her first solo show there in 2025 titled "Subconscious Playground." The exhibition aims to offer cross-generational dialogues and new perspectives on British sculpture's evolution and influence.
