A lifetime of painting and printmaking An exhibition spanning over 40 years of the artist's career including examples of work first shown at the, now legendary, New Visions Centre Gallery in the 1960s. Also, his late 60s work exhibited in Milan and Detroit, his prints which are included in many important collections and a selection of more recent work made in the 1980s and 1990s in his West Dorset studio will also be shown.
His work during the last 16 years has in one way or another been concerned with archaeology. "Sometimes about the landscape and man's effect upon it, sometimes concerning actual objects which I have found or excavated, sometimes referring to the houses I've lived in, and sometimes the work has been about specific archaeological sites or objects which have some visual appeal for me".
More recently his paintings have dealt with the impressive rock engravings made by early man at sites such as the Boyne Valley in Ireland and Gavrinis in Brittany. "Using the simple but universal abstract symbols carved by Prehistoric Man on the stones of these tombs, I have developed my own alphabet of shapes which appear and reappear in my work." Closed 13th - 16th of April inclusive
