At present we have the brilliant Welsh Based abstract stone sculpture Carver
Matthew Billington. Working amidst the historic stones of
Wales he is certainly inspired by the ancient carvers but also
brings fluidity into his abstract stone sculpture that suggests his heads were
frozen 'mid-morph' in molten stone. Both Easter
Island and Dali spring to my mind when I experience his abstract stone sculpture.
The cool, dark Welsh slate he mostly uses, smoothed
like ice, lends a power to his pieces that is compelling...
and compells you to touch...
