This was a group exhibition to identify and display the research of eight artists, who are painters based in London. Nationalities included British, Scottish, German and Hungarian. The exhibition was conceived and co-curated with Tamas Jovanovics. Each artist worked with some aspect of Geometry as the starting point or worked away from geometric formal concerns. The artists were Jane Bustin, Simon Callery, Rose Davey, Lothar Gotz, Tamas Jovanovics, Karoly Kerseru, Dillwyn Smith and Estelle Thompson. The investigation of ‘abstract/geometric’ is central to the Hungarian ‘MADI’ movement and so references a specific historical movement. The research of each artist focused on fundamental aspects of non-objective art and the tradition and language thereof. The show identified significant artists working in this parallel line of contemporary investigation in the UK. It attempted to balance the perceived concerns of painters working in London somewhat currently under-represented in Europe. The exhibition consisted of about forty works of varying dimensions and materials.
