Norman Dilworth : Generation

10 Mar-16 Apr 2011

Overview

Throughout his career Norman Dilworth has been committed to geometric abstraction. His sculptures explore the nature of movement and direction through rotation and repetition. Working in wood and steel, geometry is the basis of his constructions and as such eschews any reference to human form or the natural environment. This is art emanating from the mind rather than reproducing or abstracting shapes already found in nature. Like other English Constructivists, such as Kenneth Martin, Dilworth seeks to create works derived from man-made systems which, although avoiding sentimentality, are not without sentiment.
