British artist Nicholas Pope was best known in the 1970s and early 1980s for his
large-scale sculptures made of wood, metal, stone, sheet lead or chalk.
Following his 1980 exhibition representing Britain at the Venice Biennale, Pope was awarded a Cultural Visitor grant to Zimbabwe and Tanzania; an experience that affected the rest of his life and twisted his artistic practice completely.
In a move towards softer, more malleable materials such as glass, porcelain, moulded aluminium and ceramics, Pope began to make abstract works that reference complex themes of belief, suicide and society.
