Artist: Trevor Bell
Artwork: Untitled
Year: 1960
Medium: Oil on paper
Artwork Size: 90 × 61 cm
Untitled, created in 1960, belongs to an important early period in Trevor Bell’s career and reflects the development of the bold abstract language that would come to define his work.
By this time, Bell was closely associated with the artistic community of St Ives, where the dramatic Cornish landscape and the work of the artists surrounding him had a profound influence on his approach. Rather than representing landscape literally, Bell explored its underlying rhythms and sensations through colour, shape and expressive gesture.
Executed in oil on paper, this work demonstrates Bell’s early interest in the relationship between form, movement and space. The immediacy of the medium gives the composition an energetic quality, while the absence of a descriptive title allows the forms themselves to remain the focus.
Created in 1960 and measuring 90 × 61 cm, Untitled offers an insight into a formative period of Bell’s practice, as he developed the expressive approach to abstraction and landscape that would remain central to his work throughout his career.
