George Dannatt

Paintings Drawings & Constructions
A RETROSPECTIVE

and a selection of works from the George & Ann Dannatt Collection

13 September - 1 October 2005

Private View: Tuesday 13 September 2005 6 - 8pm

Osborne Samuel is delighted to present this long overdue retrospective for George Dannatt on the occasion of his 90 birthday, marked appropriately with this, his first major London exhibition. George knew and worked with several of the leading St. Ives artists of the post war years, notably John Wells and Denis Mitchell. Over the years, he and his wife Ann have assembled a remarkable collection by his friends and contemporaries. This collection includes outstanding works by Robert Adams, Terry Frost, Roger Hilton, John Tunnard and John Wells, some of which will be included in our exhibition.

As a painter, Dannatt is drawn principally to landscape, around which he fits his elegant geometries. Less often he deploys them in purely abstract canvases. He is technically versatile, making drawings, prints and constructions in addtion to his paintings. Dannatt's paintings lie visibly within the legacy of St Ives.

KRISHEN KHANNA
6 - 22 OCTOBER 2005

Private View: Wednesday 5 October 2005 6 - 8pm

"I scratch at the surface of a wound, but I am not a healer", says Krishen Khanna of his art and its purpose. In viewing Krishen Khanna's work, it is his background as an artist and observer of a historical context that provides a backdrop with which to view this collection of recent works. His images provide a series of narratives on contemporary and historic events that allow us to question and address issues on a personal level of relevance.

This exhibition is in collaboration with Saffronart and is part of an ongoing programme of exhibitions of the best known Indian contemporary artists.
