Artwork: Meditation
Year: 1982
Medium: Oil on canvas
Artwork Size: 61 × 76 cm
Framing: Framed
Meditation, painted in 1982, is a compelling example of Eileen Agar’s mature practice, reflecting her enduring fascination with symbolism, spirituality and the subconscious.
Through bold colour, harmonious composition and evocative forms, Agar creates a contemplative work that invites quiet reflection while retaining the imaginative energy that defines her distinctive artistic vision.
As a significant figure in British Surrealism, Agar consistently challenged conventional ideas of representation. Drawing inspiration from mythology, nature and archaeology, she developed a visual language that moved between abstraction and reality. In Meditation, these influences are distilled into a composition that balances structure with spontaneity, imbuing abstract forms with a sense of emotional and symbolic resonance.
Executed in oil on canvas during the later years of Agar’s career, Meditation reflects the freedom, experimentation and poetic imagination that remained central to her practice throughout her life.
