2002 - Spotlight on Euan Uglow

Euan Uglow (1932 – 2000) was a painter of national and international distinction. Spotlight on Euan Uglow brought together six paintings and four drawings from the Arts Council Collection, and offered an opportunity tolook again at his work. When he died in August 2000, an obituary writer observed that ‘a light in English painting has gone out’

The works included an early still life, a profile of a girl, a mosque in Turkey and three nudes, including the important painting, The Quarry Pignano, 1979 – 80. Of the four life drawings also shown, Girl Close-To, 1968, was one of the few never intended as a preparatory study, but considered by the artist as a complete work. The Touring Exhibition from the Hayward Gallery  toured extensively around the UK
