Roy Exley

Roy Exley is a sculptor based in Gloucestershire. He works principally with Portland Stone, creating small abstract sculptures. Inspired by the Modernist architecture of Mendelsohn, Chermayeff and Lubetkin, his ‘Architectonic’ series  is deliberately retrospective in nature, prophesying, perhaps, a return to a modernist aesthetic as the pendulum of contemporary art swings back once again towards its sources. 

Roy trained at the Hoathly Hill School of Sculpture in Sussex and has taught woodcarving and stone-carving in Sussex for more than 25 years. His work has been exhibited in the Towner Gallery, Charlie Smith Gallery, Charlie Dutton Gallery and Lesley Craze Gallery, the Grey Area Gallery in Brighton.
