'The White Paintings'
Mixed Media Works on Canvas
"White has fascinated me for
as long as I can remember. I have made
numerous white paintings, collages and
constructions, many of them long lost and
unlikely to be recovered.
I made white constructions
at Banbury School or Art in 1959-63, some of
them with Michael Baldwin, later of 'Art and Language'. Some were fairly
large up to about five feet by five feet and
were hung in the Art School and in local
exhibitions.
The constructions were
continued into the late sixties running
parallel with painting, Terry Frost took an
interest in them and in '66 at least one was
shown at the former Bear Lane Gallery in
Oxford and was mentioned in Arts Review.
The white, painted
collages then took over and whilst the
constructions were timber onto plywood, the
collages were largely hessian glued to
stretched canvas."
