Sax IMPEY
Born in Penzance, Cornwall, Impey received his BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Newport. In 1997 he held a residency at the Kunstbrucke in Berlin.
In 1996 he participated in the NSA exhibition Drawing Towards the End of a Century at NAG, and proceeded to actively exhibit in many mixed and solo shows since, both in West Cornwall (Penzance, Newlyn and St Ives) and further afield (Canada, Germany, Wales, London). His solo shows again began at NAG in 2000, followed by three solos at the New Millennium Gallery, St Ives (2002, 2004, and 2007) as well as an exhibition in 2005 at OneOTwo Gallery in London.
