A gouache work on paper depicting abstracted forms set within a bold field of colour. Executed with instinctive brushwork and strong tonal contrasts, the composition reflects Hilton’s late-period approach, characterised by expressive gesture, spontaneity 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 economy of line, expressive colour and an instinctive freedom of mark-making. His late works on paper are among his most immediate and recognisable works.
