Wells took up the post of doctor on the Scilly Isles in 1936. He
continued to paint in his spare time following evening classes at St
Martin’s School of Art and his initial meeting with Ben and Winifred
Nicholson and Christopher Wood in Feock, Cornwall in 1928. He
read widely, subscribing to contemporary magazines such as Axis
and Horizon, and his work of this period suggests an affinity with
the biomorphic forms of Surrealism which he used in depictions
of his marine environment. These two studies, never previously
exhibited, explore the organic contours of his island existence.

Wells visited Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth at Carbis Bay
near St Ives in the spring of 1940 where he was introduced to Naum
Gabo. He was deeply impressed by Gabo’s constructivist ideas and
immediately fashioned a three dimensional response that Gabo
later described to Nicholson as ‘the perfect first effort in spatial
construction’. The present example is an important example of
Wells exploring tension and balance in space through the use of a
series of collaged geometric shapes interconnected within a linear
structure and with the central area of radiating lines.
The coloured concentric circles in each shape were created
with a small brass turntable, a device used by Wells’ father to make
microscope slides, and feature in Wells’ sole surviving relief
construction of the period in the Tate collection.

Wells worked as an assistant to Barbara Hepworth from 1949-51,
notably on her series of monumental figurative sculptures of the
period including Cosdon Head, 1949 in the Birmingham City Art
Gallery Collection These works combined Hepworth’s interest in
pure abstraction with her figure drawings of the preceding few years.
Many of her works involved two figures presented together, either
the same figure for different viewpoints or entwined in some way.
Wells at this time developed an interest in incorporating heads and
figures within landscape forms as symbolic of man’s interaction with
nature. This rare linear study is also related to a series of etchings
made at this time.
