Derek Sprawson: Paintings 2021-24

Sat 16 Nov 2024 – Sun 5 Jan 2025

Angear Visitor Centre

Free

Opening times

Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-4pm
Sunday, 12noon-4pm

Closed Monday

A collection of abstract work fills our Angear Visitor Centre.

Derek Sprawson’s recent abstract paintings deliberately avoid literal imagery. They are painted in dilute veils of acrylic, soaked into the fabric of the canvas. Simple screen-like shapes contain subtle tones of subdued colour that propose scenarios with unusual, ‘incidental’ lighting conditions.
