ELIOT’S REPETITION Short Video
Pythagoras, Robert Campin, Raphael, Pablo Picasso and T.S. Eliot
come together as inspirations in Povey’s ELIOT’S REPETITION painting,
with its Yeatsian ‘turning and turning’ quality of repetition.
This is the structure to which Povey brings the dark memories,
empathy and compassion of his rich and strange life.

DE ZIEL Short Video
Povey addresses the contradiction between the engineering of a painting and its human content;
a method of more clearly seeing the design within paintings; and explores the difference between
what can be explained and what cannot be expressed in words, in ‘Emotional Realism’.

Edward Povey - speaking on
his painting DÉCOUSU
Short Video
Povey explores the relationship between the artist and the viewer, and the interpretation of art.
He tells why he only uses female models, and why he feels so strongly about the depiction of
objects and human skin in his paintings. He finally follows his decades-long journey into
the contortion of the human figure in art, and its link to his parents.

his painting SOUS LE CERVEAU
Short Video
Povey describes his painting as a museum guide might, showing the influence
of Giotto and Raphael upon his palette, and revealing a little about the structure
of the paint in his works. He explains the connection of Balthus’s eroticism and a poem
by TS Eliot to SOUS LE CERVEAU, as well as the origin of the letter in the painting.
He also shows the construction of the composition of the painting, and the role of the subconscious.

Edward Povey - speaking on
his painting BLESSURE
Short Video
Povey talks about the ritualistic role of paintings in our lives and the function of the mind
in understanding symbolism in contrast to the more emotional and poetic role of the heart
and the intuition. He compares theatre and paintings in their immortal role in society, and
unfolds the symbolism and composition of his painting BLESSURE.
