Exorcising the Fear

Artists that caused a stir in 1950's with their art work, now are showing in Pangollin Galery.

Lynn Chadwick and William Turnbull are some of the artists of this exhibition. Their sculptures (made post Second World War) were described as "geometry of fear", because the forms shows the shock that war caused in artists.
They show strange forms.

This kind of art wasn't appreciated in the 1950's. British Critics didn't understand the groundbreaking of the sculptures, but it was acclaimed by many other countries.

Exhibition's curator, Polly Bielecka, says that exhibition today isn't like before. Now the sculptures evoke vulnerabily, not fear. He says that the artwork be viewed with humor.
Bielecka doesn't agree with major art institutions, that have overlooked these artists, because, he said, they are the link with the minimalist sculpture of 60's.

The exhibition can be seen until March 3.
