This is a unique chance to discover the work of Swedish painter Hilma af Klint and experience Dutch painter Piet Mondrian’s art in a new light.
Although they never met, Af Klint and Mondrian both invented their own languages of abstract art rooted in nature. At the heart of both of their artistic journeys was a shared desire to understand the forces behind life on earth.
Best known for his abstract work, Mondrian in fact began his career – like Af Klint – as a landscape painter. Alongside Mondrian’s iconic grids, you will see the rarely exhibited paintings of flowers. Also on display will be enigmatic works by Af Klint in which natural forms become a pathway to abstraction.
Visitors will be immersed in these ideas through the vibrant signs, shapes and colours in both artists’ beautiful, complex work.
After you have seen the show, why not pop up to the Members Bar for a drink and spectacular views over London?
