During Law's stay at St Ives in the late 1950s, the artist
developed a series of Field drawings that reduced elements observed
in the surrounding landscape - the sun, trees and clouds - into a
set of abstract signs held within a rhomboid frame. The series was,
in Law's words, 'about the position of myself on the face of the
earth and the environmental conditions around me'. Using a thickly
drawn line to contain and delimit the almost-blank pictorial field,
Law refined his early abstract language in subsequent monochrome
works, from 'open' and 'closed' drawings to the monumental
paintings of the Mister Paranoia series. Published to accompany a
2015 exhibition of the same name, this volume draws together over
20 works by leading British minimalist Bob Law (1934-2004),
providing a concise overview of the artist's career. This fully
illustrated catalogue includes an essay by Douglas Fogle that
includes new scholarship on the artist and focuses on his pursuit
of the void's poetic possibilities.
