Geoffrey Clarke: Intuitionism, Pangolin London
Prints leave their mark on outstanding representations of the extraordinary in the ordinary
INTUITIVE: Two troughs and flat bar, 1964

 

PANGOLIN’S curating is exceptional and the decision to present the work of the sculptor Geoffrey Clarke predominantly through his prints is a gamble that pays off handsomely.

Contextualising Clarke’s work from the 1950s to the 1990s, it’s an inspired selection that demonstrates his formal and thematic concerns over decades.
