The Studio of Felicity Powell
Richard Saltoun Gallery
41 Dover Street
London W1S 4NS
Opening hours: Tuesday - Friday, 10am - 6pm

24 JULY—3 OCTOBER 2026 LONDON

It was very moving to attend the pv of
(my late 🙏 and great friend) Felicity Powell’s show, superbly curated by her husband and widower, Ansel Krut (who took the beautiful portrait of her in this post), which opened two weeks ago at Richard Saltoun Gallery at 41 Dover St. Felicity died in 2015.

This show provides a perfect chance in this beautiful gallery to observe the breadth of her work, her mastery of form and the subtle, mysterious presence she exquisitely harnesses. It is a breathtaking show which I am certain she would be thrilled by and grateful congratulations from me, and I am certain everyone who knew and loved Felicity, along with hopefully an ever expanding new audience, go to @anselkrut and @richardsaltoungallery
Here is an excerpt from the gallery press release:
‘Felicity Powell’s works invite intimate acts of encounter. Embedded within her exploration of material are deeply personal reflections on selfhood, motherhood, corporeality, and, towards the end of her life, illness and mortality. Working between the kitchen table and the studio, she approached her practice as a process of continual experimentation. With sculpture at the centre of her practice, Powell explored the material capabilities of wax, bronze, and glass, creating works that range from intimate objects to monumental forms. Her exceptional sensitivity to materials and remarkable skill as a modeller marked her out as a singular sculptural voice, with even her largest works retaining the concentrated presence of forms first imagined through the hand.
Powell also drew prolifically, with more than 300 works on paper produced across a wide range of materials. Rendered in delicate lines and mostly small, their emphasis is on intimacy: the line, sometimes smudged, the suggestions of form and mass, the areas of incompletion, all sustain the air of introspection that characterises these works’.
