| Alan Charlton, Painting in Four Different Greys, 1990 |
Alan Charlton: Grey Paintings is at Annely Juda
until 3 November.
From the gallery website:
The exhibition will cover nearly
fifty years of Charlton’s practice.
Alan Charlton has, since the
early 1970’s, painted purely grey, abstract paintings. The choice of grey paint
stems from Charlton’s desire to use a “standard, industrial colour,” linking to
the industrial landscape of his childhood in Sheffield, but also the emotive
qualities of the colour. Grey evokes industry, modernity, melancholy,
depression but equally tranquillity, calm and the absence of any colour at all.
Unwavering from this rigorous format has allowed Charlton to indefatigably
explore the formal qualities of the canvas and to remain free of
representation, influence or interpretation.
