Twenty Paintings for Trying Times

The genesis of Tony Slater's work comes directly from the second generation of British Pop school artists, 1960s London. In considering that broader context, Slater's oeuvre begins to fall into place. His work originates from an international idiom that was upending the European modernist aesthetic, a framework which explains his constantly moving output, a restlessness of spirit that sees his work shift from figurative, landscape and urban scenes to highly satirical commentary.
