Study for Tree in Primrose Hill
1986
A densely worked composition of vigorous, gestural marks captures the raw, almost visceral presence of a single tree in London's Primrose Hill. Auerbach's characteristic impasto-like energy animates the surface, with layered strokes building a sense of organic mass and movement that transcends simple representation. The work reflects his lifelong obsession with a familiar, local landscape, transformed through repeated observation into something urgent and deeply felt.
