Sheila Girling @ Space to Breathe

A retrospective exhibition of the painter Sheila Girling (1924-2015). Over 90 of her large scale paintings and collages from the 1970’s to the 2010’s showcases her enormous talent as a painter simultaneously embracing the freedom of American abstraction while remaining rooted in a distinctive British sensibility.  Evident in all Girling’s work is her understanding of the power to express emotion and form through the fortuitous juxtaposition of colour, combined with her unique exploration of the materiality of paint itself.
