Gillian Ayres

Gillian Ayres: A Life in Colour celebrates one of Britain's most influential abstract painters through 26 works spanning seven decades. From early paintings to the monumental canvases of her later years, the exhibition highlights Ayres' bold use of colour, expressive brushwork and lifelong commitment to abstraction. Shaped by the landscapes of South West England and created in defiance of changing artistic fashions, these paintings reveal the energy, experimentation and emotional intensity that defined her pioneering career.
