Overview
Born in Sheffield in 1934, John Hoyland achieved international recognition as an abstract painter, known for his powerful large-scale images, full of energy and feeling. In 1994, in the lead-up to his sixtieth birthday, he made his only mature group of sculptures. Working at the Royal College of Art in London, he produced around 25 ceramic works, which he described as ‘these mad little hybrids”. John Hoyland: Imaginary Beings, focuses on this body of work, bringing together a selection sculptures that will be shown in conversation with related paintings.
