About the Item

Pantaloon (1990) is a striking oil on canvas by celebrated British artist Mark Lancaster (1938–2021). Measuring 19¾ x 19¾ inches (50 x 50 cm), this vibrant work exemplifies Lancaster’s refined use of colour and geometry, balancing structure with a lyrical, painterly sensibility. Exhibiting his trademark clarity and restraint, Pantaloon reflects Lancaster’s interest in modernist abstraction and his enduring dialogue with colour and form. Provenance: The Mayor Rowan Gallery, London Artist Biography: Mark Lancaster (British, 1938–2021) was a distinguished painter, stage designer, and colourist whose work bridged fine art and performance. Trained at King’s College, Cambridge, Lancaster began exhibiting in the 1960s and quickly became associated with the British Pop and abstract movements. He worked in New York during the 1970s and ’80s, where he collaborated closely with Andy Warhol and later served as Resident Lighting Designer for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, creating luminous environments that merged color, movement, and sound. Lancaster’s paintings are held in major public collections including the Tate, the British Council, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. His work is celebrated for its sophisticated chromatic harmonies, architectural precision, and meditative stillness — qualities beautifully captured in Pantaloon.

At the age of eighteen, she left Rio de Janeiro and moved to Paris to study sculpture at l’Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts, receiving her Diploma there in 1979 under the direction of Claude Viseux, Etienne Martin, and Cesar.
