Description

A retrospective of forty-four works. Included in the exhibition are major early paintings by the artist. His work in the sixties is represented including painted collage pieces. In the seventies, he used an air-brush technique, providing a misty aura to his large works. A brief narrative on each work in the catalogue is provided by the artist.
