Axis, Framed

One of the most significant British Abstract Expressionist artists of the twentieth century, Paul Huxley is known for his large-scale paintings, which combine experimental perspective with linear lines, distorted geometry with dynamic illusion.  He invites the viewer to unpick the paintings and consider why such elements have been considerately placed together. Paul studied at Harrow School of Art from 1951 to 1956, and subsequently at the Royal Academy Schools from 1956 to 1960. He taught at the Royal College of Art from 1976, becoming Professor of Painting from 1986 until 1998, when he was appointed Professor Emeritus.
