Gallery visit to MK Gallery, Milton Keynes
Euan Uglow was one of Britain’s most original and influential painters. Curated by Catherine Lampert, this will be the first solo exhibition of Uglow’s work in a UK public institution for 20 years. Uglow was known for his meticulous approach to composition, measurement, and colour, Uglow’s paintings invite slow looking and careful attention. His distinctive treatment of the human figure and space has had a lasting impact on generations of artists, and this exhibition offers a valuable opportunity to experience his work at scale in a major public gallery.
The exhibition, Euan Uglow: An Arc from the Eye, features over 30 of his most ambitious paintings, as well as drawings and examples of work by his artistic influences, Paul Cézanne, Alberto Giacometti and his former tutors William Coldstream, Victor Pasmore and Claude Rogers.
In addition, MK Gallery has very graciously offered us a volunteer-led tour, lasting approximately one hour, included in the price of your ticket. Make the most of this wonderful opportunity and book your tickets now.
The exhibition promises to be a standout event in MK Gallery’s programme and an inspiring experience for anyone with an interest in painting, drawing, and modern British art.
