Ronald moody: sculpting life 22 june-3 november

A fascinating exhibition exploring the work of Jamaican-born sculptor Ronald Moody has recently opened at The Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield. Moody arrived in England in 1923 to study

dentistry at the Royal Dental Hospital and qualified in 1930. He pursued sculpture alongside his work as a dentist, practising using dental materials. The exhibition brings together over 50

Moody works from large-scale figurative sculptures made in wood in the 1930s through to post-war experimentation with concrete and resin casting. These works are set within the context of

his contemporaries Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. You can read more about Ronald Moody's life and family in _Dental Historian_; visit:
