A star of the 1960s, British artist Jeremy Moon’s work falls between colour field and geometric painting, exploring form in his highly individual palette of soft pastel colour. The present work demonstrates Moon’s continued use of the grid form in his work, the playful pop-influenced colours reacting with the presumed rigidity of this structure. Moon was an important figure in London in the 1960s, living and working in Kingston, and developing a new language of abstraction alongside a new generation of artists that included John Hoyland, Gillian Ayres and Bridget Riley. His work is in collections worldwide, including the Tate, The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Portugal and The Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro. Important exhibitions have included a retrospective exhibition at The Serpentine in 1976 which toured to other UK venues such as Kettles Yard, Cambridge, Ikon Gallery, Birmingham and the City Art Gallery, Manchester.
