***The Colour, Form and Line gallery is closed for redisplay on Tue 29 Jul and and will reopen on Wed 30 Jul***
The works in this gallery can loosely be described as abstract, where focus is on colour, form and line rather than realistic depictions of the world. Abstraction became the dominant artistic practice during the early 20th century and has remained an enduring aesthetic ever since.
In these displays you'll see how artists such as Bridget Riley and François Morrellet were interested in the ways in which vision can be manipulated through colour and form.
Other artists featured here, like Malcolm Hughes and Jean Spencer, employed a systematic, logical approach to making work. You'll also find works by John Hoyland and Adrian Heath, who included a more emotional and psychological aspect to their art.
These displays are part of a five-year programme of change and redisplay at the Graves Gallery generously supported by the Ampersand Foundation.
Suggested donation £5 – Please donate and help showcase homegrown creativity and bring the best in art and design to Sheffield.
