Painting has been the subject of his research for the best part of 30 years. He was a key figure in the Young British Artists scene in London in the Nineties and the youngest person to be nominated for the Turner Prize in 1991. Even back then, he was preoccupied by the relationship between shape, colour and material. ‘My paintings are about fluidity, movement, liquidity and how movement affects installations and spaces,’ he says. His studio in south London is something of a Tardis. Located off a residential street, it is a vast space that allows him to experiment with different techniques and scales. Ian creates many of his paintings by pouring paint down smooth surfaces in linear patterns. In a recent body of work, these kaleidoscopic lines puddle in swirls at the base of each painting, resulting in something nearing sculpture. There are the diagonal works in which paint is poured from opposite sides of the surface and merges in the middle, then there are the Splat pictures, which he creates by 509 West 27th Street New York NY 10001 + 1 212 563 4474 kasmingallery.com squirting paint onto a vertical hanging surface and letting it trickle into random patterns.

  • Eduardo Paolozzi 16 February – 14 May 2017 Media View: 15 February 2017, 10:00 – 13:00
    Eduardo Paolozzi 16 February – 14 May 2017 Media View: 15 February 2017, 10:00 – 13:00 The Whitechapel Gallery announces the first major retrospective of Eduardo Paolozzi in 40 years from 16 February – 14 May 2017 Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005) was one of the most innovative and irreverent British artists of the 20th century. Considered the ‘godfather of Pop Art’, his powerful collages, sculptures and prints challenged artistic convention from the 1950s ‘Geometry of Fear’ all the way through the Swinging Sixties and on to the advent of ‘Cool Britannia’ in the 1990s. From his post-War bronzes to revolutionary screen-prints, collages and bold textile designs, this first major retrospective since 1971 aims to reassess Paolozzi’s varied and experimental artistic approach, and highlight the relevance of his work for artists today. Spanning five decades and featuring more than 250 works from public and private collections the exhibition focuses on the artist's radical explorations of material and form, processes and technologies, and consistent rejection of aesthetic convention throughout his career. Rarely exhibited drawings, maquettes and sculptures will shed new light on overlooked or lesser known aspects of his work. The exhibition is presented in four chronological sections and begins with Paolozzi’s groundbreaking early brutalist concrete sculptures including Seagull and Fish (1946), Fish (1946-7) and Blue Fisherman (1946) reunited for the first time since Paolozzi’s debut London exhibitions in 1947. Material from the artist’s influential performative lecture, Bunk! (1952) and examples of textile, fashion and design work including the highly patterned Horrockses Cocktail Dress (1953), are also on display.

The earliest work in the exhibition is Mask 1946 . Originally conceived in concrete and string it was made whilst Turnbull was still a student at the Slade, London. In 1948 he transferred his grant to study in Paris, there meeting Brancusi, Leger and becoming friends with Hélion and Giacometti. In 1950, having moved back to London, he made Horse a linear dissection of three-dimensional space that stands poised without a base. This bronze has a direct relationship to the paintings of Heads and Figure from 1956, their motifs built from thick interlinking bars of monochromatic impasto. To create Figure 1955 corrugated cardboard was pressed into wet plaster making the column-like figure appear fashioned from seams of strata, its elemental shape revealed by lines of erosion - the fluid plaster fossilized into bronze, creating an aura of permanence and stillness. Screwhead 1957 is a similar upturned-T composition whose forms originated from a chocolate grinder and grandfather clock but again, through Turnbull’s economy of expression, suggests a motionless totemic figure.
