Peter Sedgley
The Redfern Gallery presents Peter Sedgley: 5 Decades
Enter the immersive world of Op Art pioneer Peter Sedgley in the most extensive retrospective survey of his work to be mounted in London. Presenting five decades of his art, the exhibition is anchored by trails of colour and light that usher the visitor into a central vista where Sedgley’s sense of the ethereal and the enigmatic; the sensual and the spectral are explored in paintings on paper, canvas, panel, light and kinetic form. Conceived and curated in dialogue with Dr Omar Kholeif, director of collections and senior curator, Sharjah Art Foundation, UAE and longtime trustee of SPACE, an organisation co-founded by Sedgley and Bridget Riley with Peter Townsend, the exhibition is also accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with an illuminating essay that situates Sedgley as one of the most significant masters of art and illusion.
