About the Item

Truth, from Encounter Suite by Tess Jaray, 1971 Additional information: Medium: etching 50 x 50 cm 19 3/4 x 19 3/4 in signed, dated and numbered in pencil Tess Jaray RA is a painter and printmaker who studied at St Martin's School of Art (1954 - 1957) and the Slade School of Art (1957 - 1960), where she later taught for many years. Her work is characterised by the enigmatic interaction of forms and colours. The patterns she creates suggest spatial ambiguities and shifting structures which work on the viewer's perceptions in subtle ways. For over 50 years she has used painting, drawing and printmaking to explore and expand her personal interactions with architectural space, mass, surface and light. While her work may present as nonrepresentational, it is invariably informed by lived experiences of the visual world – what Jaray terms ‘[the] geometry of human relationships’. She has artworks in many public collections, including the Tate and the British Museum, and her paving designs can be seen in Centenary Square, Birmingham and the forecourt of Victoria Station. In 2010 she published a book of her collected writings, Painting: Mysteries and Confessions.

Intervals (Yellow), Silkscreen Painting by Kim Lim 1936-1997, 1972 Additional information: Medium: Silkscreen on plastic, framed in a perspex box 45 x 45 cm 17 3/4 x 17 3/4 in Signed, dated and numbered Provenance Private Collection, UK Exhibitions London, Pace Gallery, 'Creating Abstraction', Feb 3 - Mar 12 2022 (another ed.) Wakefield, Hepworth, 'Kim Lim', 2023 (another ed.) Kim Lim was born in Singapore and spent much of her early childhood in Penang and Malacca. After her schooling in Singapore, Lim knew that she wanted to become an artist, and at eighteen, she enrolled at St. Martin's in London, where she spent two years concentrating mainly on wood carving. She then transferred to the Slade, where taught by the etcher Anthony Gross and lithographer Stanley Jones, she developed a strong commitment to print making. On journeys back to Singapore she stopped off in Europe and India, soaking up the art 'like a sponge'. These were the experiences that confirmed in her a lifelong predilection for things archaic, and for the flow and rhythm of Indian and South East Asian sculpture: " I found that I always responded to things that were done in earlier civilizations that seemed to have less elaboration and more strength." In Greece she was entranced by Cycladic sculpture. Of Chinese art she was moved most by early Shang bronzes, Han sculpture, Sung pottery...
