Features

notes

'Release' portrays a striking figure sculpted in painted resin clay, its chest parted to reveal a vivid red bird nestled within. Delicate and intricate black-and-white tattoo motifs span the face and hands, lending an edge and a sense of narrative. This commanding piece would sit well in an eclectic interior space or a bold contemporary collection.

Insights

Sculptor Gary Betts' inspiration stems from the ‘perfect imperfection’. The result is an extraordinarily varied oeuvre that is unique, enigmatic, and often unsettling, and yet united by a sensitivity of handling and vision that speaks of humanity. For him, the subtext is as relevant as the work itself.

Artist

Born in the East End of London, Betts came from, in his words, a tough background that was as far removed from high art as it is possible to imagine. He ‘drew his way through the national curriculum’ and enrolled at art school where enlightened tutors immediately recognized his extraordinary facility with human anatomy.
