Ocula: Robyn Denny’s Hard-Edged Abstractions at Vardaxoglou Gallery

'I must have had as many exhibitions as anyone in the past 15 years,' Robyn Denny told the Daily Telegraph in 1973, 'but I still feel invisible.'

As one of five young artists to represent Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1966, and in 1973 was the youngest recipient of a Tate retrospective, this seems an inconceivable and sad observation.

Hoping to rectify this is Vardaxoglou Gallery, who are hosting their first exhibition of the British painter since announcing representation of Denny's estate in April last year. The exhibition distinguishes works from each decade of Denny's career, showing his development from the 1950s to the 2000s.
