Artists & Illustrators 11
Christopher Wood
2 July to 2 October
British artist Christopher Wood led a troubled
life; he passed away at 29 years of age in 1930,
but his unique take on abstraction has endured.
Wood’s work is, on the surface, self-conscious
and naïve, but beyond the simplistic forms,
shows the influence of the early 20th-century
Modernists, such as Pablo Picasso.
This exhibition of 80 works explores the
artist’s life through a unique series of paintings,
set designs and drawings created between
Britain and Paris.
