Robyn Denny, Works on Paper

No painting should reveal all it has to say as a kind of instant impact. Abstract painting… should be as diverse, and complex, and strange, and unaccountable, and unnameable as an experience, as any painting of any consequence has been in the past. Robyn Denny, ISIS art journal interview, 1964

Bernard Jacobson Gallery presents an exhibition of works on paper by the celebrated British artist Robyn Denny, one of the most original and significant painters of the post-war era and the youngest ever to be given a retrospective at the Tate (1973). This exhibition is an opportunity to discover this rarely-seen aspect of Denny’s practice, spanning his entire working career and featuring more than 30 works on paper, including many exhibited for the first time.
