SANDRA BLOW – THE LATE WORKS
2019-01-28The exhibition will feature eleven large-scale works, made in paint and collage, which testify to her skill as a colourist and her instinctive use of material. The works in the exhibition were made between 1972 and 2005, the year before the artist’s death. Throughout her career, Blow’s works incorporated tactile materials including sand, ash, plaster, wire and sacking, but it is her late works in which the artist’s expert handling of both colour and form is most evident. It is in the last decades of the artist’s life, too, that she began to produce paintings on a monumental scale – canvases in the exhibition range in scale up to 10 feet in width.
Throughout her career, the central concerns in Blow’s work remained constant: abstract form, light, space, texture and rhythm. The coastal Cornish landscape became one of the greatest sources of inspiration in her later career after she moved from London to St Ives in 1994.
