Synopsis: |
David Hepher is a painter of remarkable originality. In this age of increasing polarity in contemporary art, his work lies at the junction between the conceptual and the traditional. Hepher's subject matter, ranging from near life-size suburban house-fronts to monumental tower blocks, allies him with the avant garde; so too does his frequent use of real architectural materials such as concrete. Yet his mastery also places him in a more conservative camp. As a consequence he has perhaps still to be fully recognised by those who champion the 'cutting edge' in art.Edward Lucie-Smith's study helps redress the imbalance. It charts Hepher's career, from his enthusiastic reception at a British Council exhibition in Paris in 1973 to the powerful depictions of modernist monoliths in his most recent work. It also examines Hepher's place in the artistic arena, his increasing importance as one of Britain's most striking and sophisticated artists. |
