Stephen Gilbert

Signed and dated '57

inscribed 'Gilbert '57, Forms on Red' on stretcher

The artist's collection

Private Collection: David Hughes 1995 - 2008

Stephen Gilbert was associated with William Gear by his place of birth, his place in the international artistic community, and his membership of the Cobra movement. Forms on Red is indicative of his move away from the expressive figuration of Cobra in favour of a gestural abstraction which shared affinities with the Tachiste movement. This painting was one of the last major abstracts Gilbert painted before devoting himself to constructivist sculpture.
