Early C20th - Sculpture


The Bloomsbury Stud: The Art of Stephen Tomlin

Mon-Fri: 9:30-6pm

The first major exhibition of his work at Philip Mould & Company - The Bloomsbury Stud: The Art of Stephen Tomlin - is aiming to return Tomlin to the artistic spotlight where he belongs and explore an alternative view of the Bloomsbury group, through the eyes of Tomlin.

During his all too brief life and career, Tomlin established himself as the Bloomsbury group’s primary sculptor, immortalising the faces of his friends and fellow artists through a series of compelling busts, realised in a variety of materials and notable for their realism and stylised simplicity.

The Bloomsbury Stud: The Art of Stephen Tomlin will include busts of Lytton Strachey (1929), Duncan Grant (1925, on loan from the Charleston Trust) and Virginia Woolf (1931, on loan from the Charleston Trust). Other highlights include a magnificent pair of reclining ceramics, painted by Duncan Grant and John Banting’s 1925 Portrait of Stephen Tomlin (courtesy of The Radev Collection).
