Michael Kidner: After Image

9 Mar-30 Apr 2022

Overview

Flowers Gallery is pleased to present After Image, a retrospective exhibition showcasing works by British artist Michael Kidner, who is widely considered to be a pioneer of Optical Art.

“Once I realised that my interest in colour rather than the figure or landscape could become the subject of a painting, I was off to a new start. An after-image was the purest experience of colour I could recall and because it occurs on the retina of the eye, it looks brighter than any surrounding colour. However it was too restrictive in its application to sustain my interest.”
