The BBC and the Public Catalogue Foundation (UK) Partnership published most of Povey’s publicly owned works in their Your Paintings Project which has put the UK’s entire national collection of over 210,000 oil paintings online.

He combines realistic forms with pure abstract forms in the same paintings, giving rise to a seamless ‘visual language’: one that opens the door to new and eloquent possibilities in style and meaning, and which is considerably more impactful on live viewers of his paintings. Continues to work in his isolated studio in the USA. Shows at Art Palm Beach - West Palm Beach, Atlanta, New Orleans. 2013-15 Povey begins to collaborate with the artist Tolar Schultz on building a new concept combining abstraction and liminal figuration, documented by Italian Museum Curator Giuseppe Bachi; and the Former Head of Public Policy of BBC Wales and Deputy Chair of Artes Mundi, Huw Roberts. 2016 Photographed by Philip Rogers. 2016 I.E.E.E. - the largest organization of engineers in the world, published their charter for ethics in artificial intelligence, using Povey and Schultz paintings as illustrations. They also advise the White House and the United Nations. 2016 - 2018 - the Povey and Schultz duo made two collections of paintings each year, but they were both simultaneously reawakening the evolution of their own individual art, which had been paused in 2012. Refreshed by his creative sojourn with Schultz and inspired by new research in the National Gallery of Art in London, Povey alighted upon the idea of combining Cubist mixed perspectives with Early Renaissance methods of painting flesh. Through his demanding emotional life experiences, he still carried the undiminished vision of congruent cherishing in human relationships, encapsulated in the motif of a man longingly serenading a sleeping woman through the night, lost in reverie. This subject, employing Modernist strength and Raphael’s tenderness, could answer his long-sought wish of creating a better way of showing complicated and vulnerable emotions. The art dealer Angela King offered Povey and Schultz an artists’ residency at her river home in late 2018, and the peaceful isolation provided Povey with the perfect environment in which to shake the wrinkles out of his breakthrough. 2019 - Povey begins to show with Arcadia Contemporary, Pasadena, California. Povey’s now elderly mother had begun to fail, and so he and his wife, artist Tolar Schultz, returned to the UK to rejoin her. There he continued to pursue this new profoundly authentic line of paintings, deep in the countryside only 290 miles from the site of Edward Povey’s distant childhood in London. 2020 - Povey artwork appears in the exhibition ISOLATION MASTERED at the JD Malata Gallery, Mayfair, London. Jean David Malat, the reknowned London-based art dealer and curator, acquires a Povey artwork for his private collection. Mr Malat is the founder of the JD Malat Gallery, Mayfair, London; patron of Tate Gallery; patron of the Royal Academy of Art; supporter of Serpentine Gallery. Povey artworks appear at the Los Angeles Art Fair in February with Arcadia Contemporary, Pasadena, California.
