As well as the charming forms and shapes the textures and surface finishes are always varied and always offer delight. Whilst shining a creative flame that displays a joyful naivety, un-doused by the waters of the art colleges, my father's work is too sophisticated and influenced by historical and contemporary cultures to be considered Outsider Art. His work has been exhibited with the Cumbria Sculptors and was amongst the only works sold. The work has un-tempered energy, beauty, warmth of spirit, creativity and wit. In my studies of the ceramic art of Pablo Picasso it was easy to see similarities in the equally prolific ceramic works of my father Donald Padgett. So, it is my pleasure to photograph and present for you a selection of his original works. These show his talent and vision as a ceramicist. And this book is a visual record of some of those finest pieces of his art.Anthony David Padgett MA (Theory of Contemporary Art) - January 2020","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51105009467665,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51105011171601,"sku":"NIN9780244858216","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0244858217.jpg?v=1750694940"},{"product_id":"year-with-kurt-schwitters-2021-2022-catalogue-book-anthony-padgett-9781471057038","title":"A Year With Kurt Schwitters 2021-2022 - catalogue","description":"Award winning artist Anthony Padgett's book of over 50 artworks in response to International artist Kurt Schwitters who spent his final year in the Lake District.

The second part is essays from 2002-2005, when Padgett studied at Wimbledon School of Art, London, for an MA in Theory of Contemporary Art and Performance. Padgett looks at artists (Damien Hirst, Thomas Hirschhorn, Anton Artaud, Jake and Dinos Chapman Brothers, Guillermo Gomez-Pena etc) and develops the idea of Postmodern Religious Art. His program of uniting the art-forms is progressed by uniting the specific material forms of religions in semi-irony with the profane - whilst keeping the sacred as of highest importance. The final part is the questionnaire that Padgett submitted to the Employment Tribunals, giving the main arguments behind his claim that the Tate Galleries were exercising religious discrimination in the way they selected artworks.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53186082078993,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53186082603281,"sku":"NIN9780956158734","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780956158734.jpg?v=1772375604"},{"product_id":"millennium-angel-book-anthony-padgett-9780956158727","title":"The Millennium Angel","description":"This book is the story of thethe creation of Anthony Padgett's award winning sculpture \"The Millennium-Angel\" a 14 year project that began in 1994 and completed in 2008.
