Artists of Fame and Promise
GX Gallery is proud to present Artists of Fame and Promise, an exhibition featuring original works and limited edition prints by Dan Baldwin, Sir Peter Blake, Donald Hamilton Fraser and Sir Terry Frost. The exhibition will include seven new original works by Dan Baldwin 鈥� as well as a wide selection of his
Dan Baldwin鈥檚 work is at once both abstract and figurative, reflecting both reality and the world of imagination. Baldwin鈥檚 subject matter is the interior of his own mind, from rumination on love, memory or philosophical issues, to an airing of opinion on politics and current affairs. Baldwin has exhibited widely, including solo shows in London, L.A and NYC, and at major international art fairs in Basel, Miami, L.A, Tokyo, San Francisco, London and New York.
The work of Sir Peter Blake 鈥� 鈥楾he Godfather of Pop Art鈥� 鈥� reflects his fascination with all streams of popular culture, and the beauty to be found in everyday objects and surroundings. Many of his works feature found printed materials such as photographs, comic strips or advertising texts, combined with bold geometric patterns and the use of primary colours. Blake is renowned for his connection with the music industry, having produced iconic album covers for the Beatles, Paul Weller, The Who, and Oasis. In 2002, Blake was awarded a knighthood and an honorary doctorate from The Royal College of Art. His work is represented in many major international collections.
Donald Hamilton Fraser participated in many of the most significant exhibitions of British work, including the Royal Academy鈥檚 25 Years of British Painting, where he was also a Royal Academician and a trustee since 1995. Donald鈥檚 predominant subject matter was landscape. Here he combined his Scottish decent and his affinity with French painting from his study there in the 1950鈥瞫. This is greatly reflected in his style and execution. He layered thick bright paint with a palette knife to produce an almost collage effect. The landscapes remain close to their origins whilst forming abstract almost dream-like fields of colour.
Sir Terry Frost was one of Britain鈥檚 most successful and highly acclaimed artists of the Twentieth Century. His colourful and exuberant paintings gave a popular dimension to the landscape-orientated abstract art produced by the post-war St Ives artist colony. Frost was elected a Royal Academician by the Royal Academy of Arts in 1992 and received a knighthood in 1998. A retrospective of Frost鈥檚 work was held at the Royal Academy in 2000.
