Depicting two horse riders, this three-dimensional figural sculpture will make a fantastic display piece in an interior, ideally situated on a plinth so that it’s beauty can be observed from every angle.
Terence Coventry (1938-2017)
Terence Coventry was a British figurative sculptor. He showcased a flair for the creative from a young age and studied at the Stourbridge School of Art where he was taught by Keith Leonard, former studio assistant to the modernist 20th century sculptor, Dame Barbara Hepworth.
Such was Coventry’s talent that he later studied at London’s Royal College of Art in 1958. However, it wasn’t until he was 61 that he exhibited at his first solo show. Following this, Coventry showcased his works at several exhibitions across the UK and Europe.
Coventry’s sculptural figures were highly influenced by his 25-year farming career on the coast of Cornwall. He later converted his farming meadows into a scenic sculpture park overlooking the Cornish landscape called the Terence Coventry Sculpture Park.
