Poussin Review: Recent British abstract painting and sculpture
Poussin specialises in recent abstract painting and sculpture from a
“middle generation” of British artists. The ambition of their work and
the pre-eminence it gives to plastic and spatial values allies it to
the ascendants of Modernism, especially American Abstract Expressionism
and Post-painterly Abstraction, and nearer home to the British St. Ives
school of painters, some of whom very directly influenced the artists
in this review. Included here are fine examples of significant early
works, as well as more recent and new paintings and sculptures, all of
which continue to expand upon the language of abstract art, and offer
fresh insight into the expressive structures available to the eye.
