'Abstract Painting: 1960 - 1980'

SMAC Art Gallery will present an exhibition of abstract works by Trevor Coleman (b. 1936, Johannesburg) in Stellenbosch. This review exhibition includes paintings from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Coleman pioneered Hard-Edge, Geo-Abstract and Op Art in South Africa during the late sixties and seventies – a time when he was predominantly engaged in avant-garde aesthetic exploration after returning to South Africa from London, where he studied and lived for six years. Analytical and mathematical concepts dominated his vibrantly coloured, modular – or Systemic – compositions. Many of his paintings were executed on unconventionally shaped canvasses.

The exhibition is scheduled to open early in June and will be on view until August 2014. SMAC is currently working on producing a fully illustrated publication to coincide with the exhibition.
