London.- Taking Tamsin Pickeral’s recent book, “Chris Gollon: Humanity in Art”, as a starting point, Gollon’s latest work reflects on his 20-year journey as an artist. Pickeral’s illuminating appraisal inspired the artist to pull everything together from the past, including scratching in, scumbling and techniques using printmakers’ rollers and experiments with soft matt blacks in what is arguably Gollon’s most experimental period to date. Gollon’s expressly unique and imaginative approach to painting the human form is still present in these latest works, many addressing the subject of “LOVE” in its many forms, from friendship, to unconditional, unrequited or fulfilled. The exhibition opened from April 15th until June 15th 2011.
