Euan Uglow Video

A video about the recent Euan Uglow exhibition:

In 1974, Catherine Lampert organized the first major retrospective of Euan Uglow’s work for the Arts Council of Great Britain. Fifty years later, she curates another exhibition highlighting Uglow’s pivotal pieces, marking the joint representation of his estate by Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert and Frankie Rossi Art.

Uglow’s paintings are known for their meticulous construction and grand simplicity, achieved through rigorous methods of close observation, controlled lighting, and the use of plumb lines that remain visible in the final work. This exhibition features exceptional masterpieces from both public and private collections, including the notable “Root Five Nude” (1974-75), “The Diagonal” (1971-77), and “Curled Nude on a Stool” (1982-83) from the Ferens Art Gallery, showcasing Uglow’s skillful approach to the nude as a formal challenge.
