Spring Exhibition

These recent releases from the studio of Paul Yates are a truly eclectic blend of subjects and techniques. Yates has no set style or subject matter, his imagination wanders at will. In this exhibition we have a work which has taken some eleven years to attain a state the artist is happy to ‘let go.’ The geneses of Yates’s paintings can be long and complex, in this selection we also see the beginnings of what may be a new series, ROAD WORKINGS, grown out of Yates superb reinvention of the classic MADONNA AND CHILD theme in his last exhibition. With MONSIEUR BRASSAU and MUTT’S THREE GRACES, Yates embraces Art history with fresh and bold paintings that are intuitive, daring and respectful of Surrealist traditions.

Paul Yates remains one of the most original and imaginative of contemporary British artists at work today.
