‘Radiating vibrant colour, the artworks in our summer exhibition are a celebration of form and colour and an open invitation to pure escapism”
Zuleika Gallery is thrilled to to announce A Celebration of Abstraction in British Art: Bell, Blow, Frost, Heron, Hitchens and their contemporaries, this exhibition which opens on 7 July and runs until 31 August in our gallery in Woodstock will include works by some of the most acclaimed Modern British artists such as Trevor Bell, Sandra Blow, Terry Frost, Patrick Heron, Ivon Hitchens as well as Victor Pasmore, Lynn Chadwick and Richard Smith among others.
Featuring a selection of oil paintings, etchings, screenprints and lithographs by artists who embraced the expressive potential of abstraction in British art, we will show how this revolutionary art movement not only revitalised traditional codes of making art by dismantling the image in order to celebrate pure form and colour, but also developed its own exuberant universal language of geometric shapes and symbols through which motion, rhythm and energy could be expressed using colour, line, materials and form.
“Colour is both the subject and the means; the form and the content; the image and the meaning, in my painting today.” Patrick Heron, 1962
