Hales is delighted to participate in London Gallery Weekend from 2 – 4 June 2023. London Gallery Weekend is the world’s largest event of its kind and unique among global gallery weekend events in the breadth and diversity of its participating galleries. The event takes place over three days, each focusing on a different area of London. Free for all to attend, it provides an opportunity to discover and explore London’s world-class gallery scene, celebrating the city’s diverse cultural and creative communities.
Basil Beattie RA's third solo show with the gallery, Recalling Echoes is currently on view at Hales London. In an exhibition of paintings and drawings made over the past decade, Beattie continues to explore a unique system of visual codes and painterly language with which he has become synonymous.
Beattie (b. 1935, West Hartlepool, UK, lives and works in Mitcham, Surrey) graduated from the Royal Academy schools in 1961 and was elected a member of the Royal Academy of Arts in 2006. Over a sixty-year career, he has carved out a process-based practice deeply concerned with the experiential qualities of painting. A pioneer of abstraction which emerged in post-war Britain, Beattie is known for gestural, painterly, monumental compositions. In non-figurative mark making, the artist's paintings have developed beyond his New York School predecessors to include symbols and signs.
