Aubrey Williams: Now and coming Time @ October Gallery

Aubrey Williams: Dawn & Evening Star (Olmec Maya series) 1982. Oil on canvas, 132 x 208 cm© Aubrey Williams Estate


I am running some workshops for children working with Mayan Art as part of the Aubrey Williams exhibition at the October Gallery in London.
The paintings are beautiful and really worth seeing. Williams who moved to London from Guyana in the 1950s was one of the artists that operated at the initiation of multi culturalism in Britain. His mixture of figurative and abstract traditions, as well as the fusing of his transatlantic experience constitute him as a very important artist whose life movements established him as a highly influential artist on both sides of the ocean. It will be running from 04 January 2010 to 03 April 2010. You should check it out!
