VICTOR PASMORE | PATRICK HERON

VIII São Paolo Biennial 

Great Britain 1965

revisited

 
Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert and Frankie Rossi Art are delighted to announce an exhibition of work by two of Britain’s pioneering abstract artists: Patrick Heron (1920-1999) and Victor Pasmore (1908-1998). The presentation will revisit their seminal joint exhibition at the VIII São Paulo Biennial in 1965, which marked a major moment in both artists’ careers and the reception of British abstraction outside of the UK, US and Europe. With no photographic record of the exhibition in Brazil, the reimagining provides the opportunity to encounter the historic show through several important works originally included in the presentation, as well as additional key pieces from the same period.

GARY HUME

THIS WAY / THAT WAY 

Paintings from the 90s

  
In 1999 Gary Hume was selected by the British Council to represent Britain at the 48th Venice Biennale. Twenty-five years on, and to mark this occasion, Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert are presenting some of his most important early works dating from 1993 through to 1999. 
 
The year 1993 marked a radical shift in Hume's creative direction. He moved on from his celebrated 'door' paintings to focus on a braoder scope of subjects including head, bodies, flowers, and other objects drawn from popular culture and daily life. Most of the paintings in this show began with a photograph, a 'found' image, traced and projected onto monumental aluminium supports and subsequently filled with high-gloss household paint. Hume favoured the brand Dulux for his tins of ready-made commercial paint: 'it's fluid, it sets, it's standard, it's recognisable... When you make a painting out of it, the material becomes beautiful. It transforms itself from a mundane material into a beautiful material'.
