Trevor Coleman survey revisited geometric abstraction from 1960 to 1977

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Trevor Coleman’s 2014 survey at SMAC Gallery in Stellenbosch revisited paintings made between 1960 and 1977. Lloyd Pollak’s ArtThrob review emphasised their shifting colour relationships, geometric structures and optical effects, describing connections between hard-edge abstraction, Op Art and African decorative forms. Alongside its praise, the review noted that ageing and damage had affected some painted surfaces.
