SALON | BERENICE SYDNEY : DANCING WITH COLOUR

23 Jun-8 Sep 2018

Overview

SALON, in collaboration with Mallett and Dreweatts 1759, is delighted to announce Dancing with Colour, a selling exhibition of paintings by the British artist Berenice Sydney (1944 - 1983). This show, remarkably the first presentation of her work staged at a major public art gallery in over thirty years, is comprised of a selection of oil paintings and works on paper that reflect Berenice's - as she was professionally known - signature lyrical and highly animated graphic style. Her paintings, notable for their fluency of form and movement, are inscribed with her passion for music and dance - she studied classical ballet, guitar and flamenco - as well as the sense of liberation and freedom of expression which prevailed in Britain during the 1960s.
