| Biography Born 1922 in Dundee, served as a pilot in World War II before studying at the Slade School 1946 to 1948. He moved to Paris until 1950. He was a close friend to Paolozzi and also had contact with Brancusi and Giacometti. His sculpture was initially Surrealist, but he eventually turned to painted steel geometric work. He was also one of the first British painters to adopt the style of the American Field Painters. He returned to London, and his first one-man exhibition was held at the Hanover Gallery, London (1950). In 1960 he married sculptor and painter Kim Lim. He represented Britain in a group exhibition at the Venice Biennale (1952) and has exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions both in Britain and internationally. In 1973, a retrospective exhibition of his work was held at the Tate Gallery, London, and in 1982 he took part in 'British Sculpture in the Twentieth century' at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London. He had a retrospective at the Serpentine Gallery, London (1995-96) and major solo exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (2005). |
