Christopher Shurrock

Research into perception, colour and drawn structures continues*, developing from the 1960’s exhibiting with colleagues, Axiom Gallery, London and Howard Roberts Gallery, Cardiff and later extensively in group, thematic and individual exhibitions, more recently in ‘studies, chance & intention’, Cabinet 2007, & ‘Drawing MMX2’ Howard Gardens Gallery, Cardiff 2012

*‘...superficial appearances and mechanisms can delude with too much arbitrary stuff, integral content is often fragile, co-incidence is not necessarily proof, the recurring dilemma is what really needs to be shown...’
