A pastel and gouache work on paper depicting an abstracted face, rendered through bold line and areas of colour. Executed with an economy of means, the composition reflects Hilton’s late-period approach, characterised by instinctive mark-making, expressive gesture and a direct engagement with form.
Roger Hilton (1911–1975) was a British painter associated with the St Ives School and one of the leading figures in post-war British art. Moving between abstraction and figuration, he developed a distinctive visual language defined by spontaneity, strong linear rhythm and a pared-back but expressive use of colour. His late works on paper are among his most immediate and recognisable works.
