- Lot Description
Artist: Frank Avray Wilson (British 1914 - 2009) Title: "Miniature" Medium: Oil on panel Size: 6" x 16 1/2" panel size Date: Provenance: Redfern Gallery, London.
Notes: Frank Avray Wilson (1914-2009) was one of the first British artists to use Action painting techniques, which was introduced by New York School painters Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, and Willem de Kooning. He became a member of the progressive Free Painters Group where he met the like-minded tachist painter Denis Bowen. They participated together in the landmark “Metavisual, Tachiste, Abstract“ exhibition at the Redfern Gallery, London, in 1957. Wilson also founded with Bowen the legendary New Vision Centre Gallery in London in 1956, which promoted hard-edge, lyrical and expressive forms of Abstraction. In Paris, Avray Wilson regularly exhibited with leading figures, such as Hans Hartung, Alfred Manessier and Georges Mathieu. He featured in many group exhibitions, such as the British Arts Council, at “La Peinture Anglaise Contemporaine”, 1957, in Liège, Paris and Geneva, and at “New Trends in British Painting”, New York Foundation, Rome, 1958.
Avray Wilson’s work can be viewed at collections, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum, and many more.
Due to his scientific background, it was necessary to Wilson to include structure, as well as, motifs and forms from nature, such as a figure or a landscape. Avray Wilson balances free and explosive impulses with geometry and structure, as can be seen in many of his paintings. This mysterious composition shows the bright white and blue colors splashed onto the panel while still holding its structure.
