Derek Boshier: Rethink / Re-entry

7 Oct-7 Nov 2015

Overview

Flowers Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Derek Boshier, a pioneering artist of the 1960s British Pop movement. Boshier came to prominence as one of a generation of Pop artists to emerge at the Royal College, alongside David Hockney and Allen Jones, establishing a unique voice within the movement for his politicised critique of the prevailing consumer culture and mass media. Curated by writer Paul Gorman and art critic and curator Guy Brett, the exhibition Rethink/ Re-entry surveys the shifting emphasis of Boshier’s work from painting to more experimental means, re-examining the assemblages, collages, drawings, films, graphics and prints of the 1970s, alongside recent films and collages.
