Leamington dentist displays ironic views of our recent past

Warwickshire Artist member Tim Florence’s collection - which he put together with his sister Angela, is called Abstract and Irony and includes pieces that recall a particular time and place, ironically dramatising aspects of our recent past.

The pictures completed so far cover a ten-year period from 1957 to 1967, but he is hoping to have more created during the coming year.

Tim said: “I have selected some large scale pieces from my portfolio that reflect a long standing interest in both abstract expressionism – represented here through images of the environment, landscape and people – and geometric abstraction, inspired by the ‘De Stijl’ movement’s love of diagonal line and primary colour.

“Our primary intention was to mimic advertising art of the time and subverting the original intention of such work.”

Abstract and Irony is on at the Gallery Dentist in Leicester Street until March 2.
