EDITIONS & WORKS ON PAPER

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).

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.

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.
