for David Annesley
David Annesley
London, England, 1936 -
Annesley began his studies at St. Martin's as a painter, but found the teaching in the sculpture department more exciting. His painterly concerns are reflected in the welded sheet metal sculptures he began to make in the early 1960s, in which simple compositions of geometrical shapes are used as a vehicle for exploring colour relationships. In the works in this exhibition, dating from 1966-68, brightly coloured paint is used to delineate the different elements of the sculpture, giving it a sense of movement, dynamism and weightlessness which defies the heavy steel construction.
David Annesley's sculpture is in many public collections, including Tate, London; the Arts Council Collection; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1995.
