Synopsis

Published on the occasion of the inaugural exhibition at Newport Street Gallery, built to house work from Damien Hirst’s art collection, John Hoyland: Power Stations provides a fascinating insight into the life and work of one of Britain’s leading abstract painters. Renowned for his intuitive manipulation of color, form and texture, John Hoyland (1934–2011) saw nonfigurative imagery as offering "the potential for the most advanced depth of feeling and meaning." Including work drawn from a pivotal period in Hoyland’s career―1964 to 1982―Power Stations shows an artist equally comfortable with geometric and gestural abstraction, combining elements of both in vividly hued, large-scale paintings. The first extensive survey of Hoyland’s work since the artist’s death, this volume reaffirms Hoyland’s status as a major innovative force within the pantheon of international abstraction.
