I checked out Bristol Museum & Art Gallery while I was in town, and am really glad that I took the time. I’m a big fan of Victor Pasmore’s work, here’s a couple of beautiful pieces I found at this particular gallery… Relief Construction 1961, Victor Pasmore This is the only 3D Victor Pasmore work that I’ve seen in person, and loved it instantly – architectural in form, and reminiscent of Le Corbusier’s influence during the 60’s; “The history of […]

So this was my actual stand at The Other Art Fair Bristol 2016, after 6 hours of step aerobics… and a 33 degree heat, it’s harder than it looks… but massively rewarding to have done my first hang… and to experience my first art fair… although I’m still recovering from the whole experience! I spend most of my time in relative isolation (most artists do), in order to get things done, so imagine the contrast of a very busy art […]

Victor Pasmore, collage: Black Abstract 1963 Rachel Lowe, film: A Letter to an Unknown Person no.2 1998 Howard Hodgkin, painting: Porlock 2012 Shelagh Cluett, sculpture: Flux III 1979 The striking geometric aspect of Pasmore’s Black Abstract is brilliantly balanced with the organic, animal-like pattern – while the placement of the vertical strand resolves the right side dip of the painted panel by topping out level with its left corner – beautifully conceived. Porlock by Hodgkin strangely mirrors the Pasmore, a […]

‘Six Days In September’ filmed in 1979 for BBC Arena, a somewhat bleak and obviously dated documentary, is nevertheless a unique and spectacular insight into the world of British abstract painter John Hoyland. In his own voice, Hoyland reflects on why painters paint, on why abstract painting specifically, and how truly challenging it can be. Inspiring, and a must-see for anyone interested in abstract painting. British abstract artist John Hoyland (1934-2011) for BBC Arena, also currently viewable on BBC iPlayer. […]
