A new season of exhibitions at the Hatton Gallery presents a selection of modern paintings from the gallery’s collection, including work by Victor Pasmore, Eduardo Paolozzi and Alan Davie.

‘The Imaginary Figure: British Art of the 1980s’ is on show from 21 September until 2 November 2013. In the 1980s a young group of British artists developed a bold, colourful, narrative painting style which was figurative, but more imaginary than realistic. Similar trends in ‘new figurative’ art at the time could also be identified in Germany, Italy and the USA.

This exhibition focuses on British artists including a Glasgow based group which included Ken Currie and Adrian Wiszniewski, as well as John Bellany, Eileen Cooper and Elizabeth Frink.

On show from 21 September until 21 December 2013 will be ‘Art of the 1960s’, an exhibition of modern highlights from the Hatton Gallery’s collection of art. The exhibition includes work by Victor Pasmore, Eduardo Paolozzi, Richard Hamilton and Alan Davie.
