The ‘Dancing Philosophers’ series of paintings, monotypes and this lithograph, Gollon produced after being made a Fellow and First Artist in Residence at the Institute of Advanced Study, Durham University. Gollon was quite daunted working with such high-profile academic minds, from three different continents. He decided to take them all out for a few drinks. Much later in the evening, they found themselves in one of Durham’s pubs, which had large dance floor. Suddenly these seemingly straight-laced academic thinkers began displaying extraordinary dance moves and styles, which Gollon could not forget, recording them warmly in a series of paintings, monotypes and in this lithograph.
This is the only edition of lithographs that Chris Gollon produced, published by IAP Fine Art and made by the artist at the Goldmark Atelier.
