Edward ‘TED.,Atkinson 1928-2016

Edward (Ted) Atkinson was trained as a sculptor, first at Liverpool College of Art, then at the Central School of Art, London. He was a tutor at the Coventry College of Art from 1967 - 1970. There were three elements to the work, consisting of three standing shapes.

Over the years Ted Atkinson FRBS contributed to many shows nationally and internationally with the main body of work directed towards architectural commissions, with major public sculptures sited in Britain, Germany, Holland and the USA. In 1988, along with Moore, Frink and Armitage, he was one of six sculptors invited to represent Britain at Expo'88 exhibition in Brisbane.

He also painted some extremely respected figure work s which can be seen to come from the head of a sculpture and the influence of Moore can easily be recognised.
