Lawrence Dicks | Until Now

27 September - 26 October 2025

Irving Gallery is pleased to present Until Now, a solo show by acclaimed British sculptor Lawrence Dicks, bringing together a new body of work in charred woods alongside sculpture in stone and bronze, and paintings and drawings.

Lawrence Dicks (b. 1969) graduated in 1998 from Plymouth University Exeter (Exeter School of Art and Design). Dicks knew from early on in his artistic practice that sculpture would be his medium, enjoying the physicality that working with sculpture demands.

Heavily influenced by nature, Lawrence takes natural phenomena in general, and cellular structure in particular, amongst his sources of inspiration. Living on the Sussex coast, daily walks to the beach and close observation of the sea and the coastline subconsciously filter through to his work, though it is not about that. There is fluid repetition in Lawrence's sculptures, setting off a rhythm which flows between all works and connects them as a whole. The rhythm of the tide is there together with the eroding effect that sea and time have on rocks, smoothing, hollowing, and pitting their surfaces. 

Lawrence has exhibited widely throughout the UK, has worked on several commissions, and he has work in private and public collections in the UK - notably Churchill College Cambridge and Marchmont House in Scotland - and internationally.
