Early One Morning celebrates the work of an exciting new generation of British sculptors who are re-engaging with the formal and conceptual business of making things.

Their work demonstrates a sensuous enjoyment of materials, which they activate in dynamic and unexpected configurations. Largely abstract in composition, their work reclaims beauty and pleasure, sampling from the formal strategies of Modernism at the same time as design, fashion, music and advertising. Their works can be spatial, tactile and riotously colourful.
