CONVERGENCE

Felix & Spear Gallery is delighted to present Convergence the gallery’s second exhibition of paintings by John Hitchens (b. 1940). The majority of paintings selected are being exhibited for the first time.

'John Hitchens makes us think carefully about our relationship with the land. The intensity with which he has absorbed the rhythms and pitches of the natural world, and the utter completeness with which he has made that relationship his way of living, is extraordinary and beautiful. He has found a whole language of marks and lines, colour and light, to talk about nature through his art – about land, wood, water, weather - but his work also reveals how absorbed an artist can be with his subject, how at one they can become.' Sandy Mallet (from the essay Osmosis in the catalogue accompanying the exhibition)
