STANO FILKO, Reality of Cosmos – A, 1968-1969
£1,750.00
In 1969, when Stano Filko (b. 1937 Veľká Hradná - d. 2015 Bratislava, Slovakia) installed Cosmos in Paris, it included slide projection of the latest success in conquering space: the landing of the American Apollo 11 crew on the Moon in July 20, 1969, honouring the public pledge of President John F. Kennedy in May 25, 1961 claiming to achieve by decade’s end this most important of steps in space exploration, as a response to the earlier triumph of Yuri Gagarin. Filko never intended to give a detailed account of the world powers’ space program attainments; instead he sought to take the spectator into the emotional action. The audio-visual program – through radio and slides – expressed the creative program Filko worked with, among other pieces in the extensive album Associations (1967-1970).

RAIMUND GIRKE, UNTITLED, 1984
12,500.00
Brushstrokes increased in dynamism and force allowing vibration, rhythm and movement to flow through the materiality of the paint. Raimund Girke explores the concepts of light, and colour his paintings are at once still and dynamic, meditative and probing.

ALAN Green, Four to One (Set of 9 intaglio prints), 1976
£3,500.00
British artist Alan Green’s geometric paintings toe the line between minimalism and abstract expressionism. Green (1932–2003, London) worked within the structure of carefully arranged geometric forms while handling color and paint exuberantly and experimentally. In his large-scale canvases, rectangles and squares of scored crimson, saturated azure, and mottled white vibrate against each other, alluding to the ability of colour and form to convey abstract concepts such as energy and emotion. His varied surfaces—layered, burnished, scratched, and collaged—reveal an obsession with material and the formal potential of paint. Perhaps Green’s highest praise came from fellow British painter Francis Bacon who, after standing in the midst of Green’s work, mused, “I wish I could use colour like that.”

TERENCE MILLINGTON, Mantlepiece 2, 1975
£750.00
Establishing his first London etching workshop in 1970 Terence Millinton (b. 1942, Birmingham) favoured the traditional hands-on approach and coupled with a modern sensibility, his early monochromatic etchings developed a distinctive style. Working in the European still-life tradition his preferred subjects are plants and household objects, accurracy is very important to Terence but his main concern is with the object's innate characteristics, and the result is always a highly individual jewel-like image.
Terence's artistic career spans five decades, exhibiting extensively internationally with work in private and public collections worldwide.
