The first major exhibition of Hoyland’s work since his death, this show marks the opening of a major new space which will be free to the public and feature work from Damien Hirst’s art collection.

The exhibition will span a particularly important period in Hoyland’s career when he was starting to make a name for himself with his first solo museum show at the Whitechapel Gallery (1967). It also covers the time from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s when Hoyland was first engaging with the New York art scene. Curated by Hirst, the exhibition takes the viewer from the vast colour-field works of the 1960s, through the textured surfaces of the 1970s to the more spatially complex paintings of the early 1980s.

I haven’t been to this yet but am really excited to - he’s widely regarded as one of the best abstract painters of his generation and it’s the first major solo exhibition of his work to have been shown in London in the last 16 years. Also, it’s a new gallery in South London - and entry is free.
