Bernard Jacobson Gallery is delighted to announce an exhibition of new work by acclaimed British action sculptor, painter and ceramicist, Bruce McLean.

Featuring works produced over the past year, including 6 ‘Shade’ Paintings; a series of vivid works which explore light and shadows, as well as a six meter long minimalist “Sunset’ painting and a group of new mono-prints on wood.

McLean has gained considerable international recognition for his work in many different media, which ranges from paintings and ceramics to innovative work with film and theatre. This year, Mclean was one of the central figures of Conceptual Art in Britain 1964–1979, which featured his seminal work Pose Work for Plinths 3 (1971).

McLean uses the absurd to confront the pretensions of the art world at time when it is ever more necessary, as well as amply demonstrating a love and mastery of the medium of paint. The new works by McLean at Bernard Jacobson Gallery combine virtuoso technique and dramatic use of colour with a large dash of humour - as one might expect from the artist who proclaimed “I like the idea of Barnett Newman in collision with Liberace”.
