Light House Soho  & Chris Gollon Estate (held by IAP Fine Art) have combined to showcase seven paintings by  Chris Gollon to coincide with Frieze London.  Following screenings of the documentary ‘CHRIS GOLLON: Life in Paint’ (85mins) at Barbican Centre, London, and at Nitehawk Cinema in New York, as part of the Doc n’ Roll Film Festival,  seven paintings have been curated to reflect themes of Gollon’s work shown in the film.

 

Whilst  ‘CHRIS GOLLON: Life in Paint’ (85mins) is currently being edited down to 52 mins for channels/streamers, to coincide with Frieze London, curator Wilfrid Wright has chosen to showcase seven paintings by Chris Gollon relating to themes in the film. These include Gollon’s innovative techniques in acrylic painting, and oil; his empathetic portrayal of women; his unblinking stare at human folly; his love of music and his lifelong interest in artistic boundary crossing. The latter began with his collaboration with Thurston Moore in ‘ROOT’ at Chisenhale Gallery, London, in 1998.  The works selected span from 2007 to just before the artist’s untimely death in 2017. Catalogues and books published on Gollon’s work will also be available to purchase.
