sandra blow |
Born in London in 1925,Sandra Blow was
at the forefront of British abstract
modern art during the 1950's and spent
44 years in London devoting her working
life to developing her art. Her
innovative approach to painting during
the 1950's insured her position as one
of the leaders of the post war British
abstract movement. She studied at St.
Martin's (1941-6) and then the Royal
Academy School's, before leaving for
Italy. It was her mentor Alberto Burri
who introduced Sandra to the potentials
of collage and the tensions between
textures therein. This insight led her
to distill her own form of reductive
abstract expressionism, preoccupied with
space, matter and movement.
During her
later life Sandra Blow published many
stunning silkscreen prints with collaged
elements, textures and glazes. Her
uncompromising approach pushed
printmaking techniques to new boundaries
with the introduction of hessian, film
and cloth. Her prints became almost
sculptural.
