Exhibition Description:

When Jules de Goede died last year, the Guardian and The Independent made much of his quiet presence on the London art scene. The art world had lost someone who encapsulated what it was to work in London during the latter half of the twentieth century.

In his earlier days in London he was a teacher and an artist. He then retired from teaching and spent the rest of his years painting in his studio which he continued to do until his last days. This is a special retrospective exhibition of Jules de Goede’s work from the last 30 years, which doubles up with an accompanying exhibition of works done by his friends and contemporaries in the Maya Gallery three doors away.

Jules de Goede's work veered from hard-core, calculated constructivism to playful op art. He cut into the canvas and created sculptural elements within it using a planned and crafted technique. He used this process to craft troughs, bowls and pipes which made the picture plane float in a middle space, neither surface nor background, thus creating a uniquely abstract space. He also worked on a series of large magisterial paintings that are imposingly formal but, with their pivotal accents of colour, rather intimate.

Angus Broadbent hopes this exhibition will ' encourage further scrutiny of this significant and thus far underrated artist.'
