John Hoyland

Untitled

This untitled work by John Hoyland from 1969 combines acrylic and watercolour on wove paper to create an abstract composition that reflects the artist's characteristic exploration of color and form during the late 1960s. The piece, measuring 763 x 558mm, is signed and dated in black ink and comes from the collection of Jack Shirreff, passing down through his descendants. As a significant example of Hoyland's abstract practice, the work demonstrates the artist's engagement with gestural abstraction and chromatic relationships that defined his artistic output during this period.
