(b.1962). Penny is an associate of the Royal British Society of Sculptors and an Academician of Royal
West of England Academy. He has exhibited in the UK and abroad, gaining international acclaim for his humorous
sculptures, in bronze and steel, that often feature in town and city centres. Penny’s focus of expression is the human form, which acts as a vehicle to explore both physical and abstract worlds and often portray an innocent humorous
quality. The nature of his figures remains eternally elusive.
“I don’t like being limited to just one medium, I work on several pieces at once until something is complete. I am
driven by the feeling that my next piece of work will be my finest, but when I reflect on my work
over the past forty years I’ve found it’s the idea in conjunction with the making that
completes the experience” GP
