Onform London Contemporary Stone Sculpture Exhibition

onform sculpture, which began life in the Cotswolds in 2002 and has since grown into one of Britain’s most acclaimed stone sculpture exhibitions, comes to the capital for the first time this June.

Showcasing both established and new sculpting talent, onform london is exhibiting over one hundred contemporary stone sculptures by nineteen very different artists. Sizes range from small desk-top pieces to much larger outdoor works, all carved from a rich variety of material including dark grey Kilkenny limestone, honey coloured calcite, Italian blue alabaster, grey-white Carrara marble and other exotic stone sourced from all over the world.

Unusually, the exhibition encourages visitors to touch the sculptures, allowing them to enjoy the shape and texture of the work with their hands as well as their eyes. In another onform touch, several of the sculptors will be at the exhibition each day allowing visitors the chance to talk to them about their work.

The atmospheric setting for onform london is the Crypt Gallery, a subterranean art space under St Pancras Church, Bloomsbury. This is a place of ancient stone and shadowy recesses, and a perfect setting to stumble across artistic treasure.

"onform is a serious, committed, intellectually adventurous exhibition of stone sculpture" - Jackie Wullschlager, Chief Art Critic, Financial Times
