RICHARD PATTERSON: The Kennington Drawings, 1988

October 09 - November 13,2021

From Cris Worley Fine Arts: "Cris Worley Fine Arts is honored and privileged to announce, The Kennington Drawings, 1988, a solo exhibition of early drawings by renowned Young British Artist (YBA), Richard Patterson. This is the gallery’s first solo exhibition with the artist. Born in the UK in 1963, Patterson graduated from Goldsmiths’ College in 1986, and was soon after included in the canonical 1988 Freeze exhibition along with fifteen fellow artists including: Angela Bulloch, Ian Davenport, Angus Fairhurst, Anya Gallaccio, Sarah Lucas, Gary Hume, Simon Patterson, Stephen Park and Fiona Rae, organized by Damien Hirst in Surrey Docks, London. Considered a milestone, the Freeze exhibition was noted for its professionalism and high ambition level. Rigorously curated, well promoted and with an accompanying catalogue, this artist-organized exhibition set a new standard outside of the traditional gallery construct of the time. It represented not only refreshing dynamism, but a shift in power from the institutions to the artists which prepared the ground for the YBA decade which was to follow. In the following conversation, Cris Worley and Richard Patterson discuss the significance of this early body of work."
