    Jeremy Moon: Spring Voyage

    April 23 – May 24, 2020 

     

    Jeremy Moon: Spring Voyage features selected works on paper by a pioneer of British geometric abstraction. The virtual exhibition borrows its title from one of Moon's own works, which evokes the essence of his practice: joy and dynamism expressed through color and form, as well as an energetic blooming sense of experimentation.

    Jeremy Moon (1934-1973) is best known for his large-scale paintings as well as his pastel and mixed-media works on paper that explore form and space through unmodulated planes of color. He emerged onto the London scene in the early 1960s amidst the framework of Color Field and Hard-Edge Abstraction.

    Jeremy Moon

    Drawing [69], 1969

    Like many artists of this period, Moon sought a degree of wholeness within his compositions, creating works where painted geometries found affinities with the canvas’s overall shape. His use of the grid as a structural device was central to his working method; its rigid organization, yet flexible expandability, allowed him to bracket fields of color in a manner that was exploratory and effectual.

  • About the Artist

    Jeremy Moon (1934 – 1973) was born in Altrincham, England and received a law degree at Christ’s College, Cambridge. He worked in advertising and enrolled briefly at Central School of Art, before devoting himself to art in the early 1960s. He taught sculpture at Saint Martin’s School of Art and painting at Chelsea School of Art, while exhibiting extensively within the United Kingdom and internationally. He died in London after a motorcycle accident at the age of 39. The first retrospective of his work took place in 1976 at the Serpentine Gallery in London, and travelled to Manchester City Art Gallery, Manchester; Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge; Ulster Museum, Belfast; and Ikon Gallery, Birmingham. His work is represented in the permanent collections of several international institutions including Tate, London; British Museum, London; Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Art Institute of Chicago; Milwaukee Art Museum; Albright-Knox Gallery, Buffalo; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; and Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence. A forthcoming exhibition of Moon's work, organized by Ivory Tars in Glasgow, will focus on a series of drawings and their relationship to the last painting made by the artist in 1973, the final year of his life.
