▲ Bryan Illsley (1937-2024)
Est: £800 - £1,200
▲ Bryan Illsley (1937-2024) Three figures carved and painted wood, signed and dated 'B. Ilsley 1985' underneath 55cm wide 35cm deep 77.5cm high Born in Surbiton, Surrey, Bryan Illsley began his career as an apprentice stonemason in the 1950s while attending evening classes at Kingston Art School. In the 1960s, he worked at the Leach Pottery in St Ives, where he remained until his return to London in 1986. On his return, he established himself in Dalston and set up his studio in Stoke Newington. Illsley's work is held in several public collections, including the Arts Council, the Anthony Shaw Collection at York Art Gallery, the Crafts Council, the Contemporary Art Society, Victoria & Albert Museum, Kettle's Yard in Cambridge, and the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto. 'He is an artist who finds creative advantage in incertitude, mystery and doubt: he allows his chosen media – "poor" materials such as the PVA solutions into which he mixes natural pigments and other ingredients, marble dust, grit, sand, china clay, coloured earths, whiting etc. – "to find the painting" (as he puts it).' Reference: Mel Gooding, from the essay 'Daedalus in Stoke Newington', 2011. Condition Report: A little light surface dirt. There is a faint stain on the left hand of the central figure. There are some small gaps where there are joins in the construction, with cracks in the paint in these areas. For a more detailed report and additional images please contact the department.
