PATRICK HERON: 1950–54
Open through to 10 July, 38 Bury Street

On display , Patrick Heron’s masterpiece ‘Christmas Eve : 1951’ depicts a joyous domestic scene set in the artist’s parents’ home in Welwyn Garden City: his mother is at the piano, his wife Delia descends through the composition decorating the tree, and his children are transfixed by candlelight. As art historian Michael Bird writes in the exhibition catalogue, Heron held a deep conviction that art must be interfused with the actual circumstances of one’s life - and here, this belief finds its fullest early expression.

Commissioned for the Festival of Britain exhibition ‘60 Paintings for ‘51’, ‘Christmas Eve : 1951’ was the largest canvas Heron had attempted. Provided with a free canvas and stretcher which were costly items at the time, the artist was encouraged to work on an expansive and unprecedented scale, one which most British artists had not dared to think before American Abstract Expressionism arrived in London five years later.

PATRICK HERON : 1950–54
Now open at 38 Bury Street

Focusing on a pivotal four-year period in Patrick Heron’s career, this exhibition traces the artist as he moved towards a new understanding of structure, space and colour particularly through close engagement with the School of Paris – Cézanne, Bonnard, Matisse and Braque. A stay in Cap d’Antibes in 1948-49, followed by a visit to Braque’s Paris studio the next summer, sharpened the direction of his painting.

‘Anemones and Lemon : 1950’, on loan from Leeds City Art Gallery () belongs to this important transitional moment. The still life shows Heron developing the method he described as ‘slotting’ planes of colour within a loose charcoal grid, balancing solidity and transparency while allowing colour itself to organise the composition.

Today, as Bridget Riley celebrates her 95th birthday, looks back on last year’s exhibition of her early black-and-white paintings and studies from 1961–1966. Curated in close collaboration with Bridget Riley and her studio, the show brought together five of the most significant early paintings alongside related studies, providing a rare insight into one of Riley’s most important periods.

Held New York space, the presentation marked sixty years since Riley’s inclusion in the landmark 1965 exhibition The Responsive Eye at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, for which the artist’s painting ‘Current’ (1964) featured on the catalogue cover.
