John McLean: Momentum
Forthcoming exhibition
Overview
For over 50 years, John McLean determinedly pursued abstraction and colour. In an exhibition that charts work from the mid 1960s through to 2019, all drawn from the artist’s estate, John’s early interest in Abstract Expressionism, his time spent in the US and Emma Lake, Canada, and his London life where he lived from the 1960s is recorded. John’s work refuses neat division into chapters; throughout his life he experimented and ideas that are seen in their infancy re-emerge years later in their maturity. Shapes and motifs weave their way through the decades. John worked relentlessly but perhaps never more so than in his final years, when even holding a paintbrush was problematic, his colossal drive kept pushing onwards.
