Item Overview

Description

The following four lots 530-533 are from the Estate of the Artist Ben Sunlight. Ben Sunlight was born in Brighton and educated at Clifton, Magdalene College Cambridge, Central School of Art & Design (now Central St. Martins). He was a fellow and Vice-Chairman of Free Painters and Sculptors Ltd 1965-68. He showed extensively in Britain and abroad. Simon Field reviewed his figurative work by saying 'with the erotic subjects the paintings become much more involving, not as titillation, but because the style is relevant to the subject matter. The very coolness of Sunlight's style, the pastel shades and the balanced composition, play off against the 'hot' content...' from 'Art and Artists' May 1969, Publ. by Hansom Books Ltd. His canon of work includes figurative, abstract, drawings and print making. Ben Sunlight, British 1935-2002- ''The Tree, Wales No.1''; oil on canvas, 152x102cm (unframed) (may be subject to Droit de Suite) Provenance: From the estate of Ben Sunlight and Portico Library and Gallery, according to label attached to the reverse
