This event has ended.

O’Neill is making some of most ambitious and successful large-scale abstract gestural paintings seen today. Extending the tradition of the great ABEX masters DeKooning, Kline and Mitchell, she glides between large and small scale. The apparent ease with which she paints reflects a hard-earned mastery of observational drawing. O’Neill packs her paintings with emotion, and challenges us to discover other worlds within; whether via the large, fluid oils or the smaller works on canvas, or yet again with a different sensibility through her sensual works on paper. Bold and intimate, full of color and movement, with an immediacy and simplicity in the mark, the work draws us into her world of seeing.

In our Project Room we are pleased to present the paintings of Benjamin Pritchard. Intimate in scale and packed with enigmatic psychological meaning, Pritchard’s work bends the language of abstract painting into a most personal and singular expression. By virtue of their minute and intense adjustments, each is motivated by a desperate search for truth and meaning.
