F. E. McWilliam

Frederick Edward McWilliam CBE RA (30 April 1909 – 13 May 1992),[1] was a Northern Irish surrealist sculptor.

He made references to furniture makers such as Carson the Cooper and Proctors in his letters to his friend, Marjorie Burnett.

He received the Robert Ross Leaving Scholarship which enabled him and his wife (Beth Crowther) to travel to Paris where he visited the studio of Brancusi.

McWilliam's style of work consists of sculptures of the human form contorted into strange positions, often described as modern and surreal.

In September 2009 Banbridge District Council opened a gallery and studio dedicated to the work of and named after McWilliam.
