Pan Theodosiou

I express my sculpture through the medium of stone, metal and wood. As a ‘direct carver’ I carve stone without first producing a model, working with materials sourced as close as possible to my location.
I live in New Zealand, but was born in Africa, and was named after my Greek uncle, a squadron leader in the RAF. I have sculpted all my life, heavily influenced by the Matebele and Mashona direct sculptors. Aged 17 I moved to London. I studied stonecarving at the City and Guilds of London Art School. My sculpture had been exhibited internationally, from the Cork Street Gallery in London to the International Art Centre in Auckland.

Restoration and Stone Carving Degree, City and Guilds of London Art School. My early years as an apprentice mason were spent getting to understand stone and producing replacement carvings in restoration work. This included six months working at Hereford Cathedral carving segments of the replacement Rose window. I also studied under John Roberts, the renowned Welsh sculptor. (John Roberts carved the modern-day martyrs on Westminster Abbey.)
