Paul Huxley

Cardi Gallery is pleased to present Paul Huxley: An Anthology, its first exhibition dedicated to British artist Paul Huxley RA (b. 1938), on view in London from October 15 to November 29. Curated by Piero Tomassoni, the exhibition brings together seminal large-scale abstract works from the 1960s alongside recent canvases and sculptures, tracing six decades of Huxley’s pioneering practice.
A central figure among the ‘New Generation’ of young British artists who emerged in the early 1960s, Huxley has devoted his career to exploring the possibilities of geometric abstraction as both a formal language and a field of intellectual discovery. Operating in a postmodernist tradition, his paintings challenge and expand on the legacy of early twentieth-century abstraction by distilling its lessons to a set of fundamental pictorial elements – scale, colour, plane, gesture, perspective – which he manipulates to achieve different emotional and perceptual responses.
