Lynn Chadwick

draughtsman

26th September - 6th November

2015

■ Tucked away in the village

of Chalford on the slopes of

the Cotswold escarpment,

Gallery Pangolin is one of the

few galleries to specialise in

sculpture and related works

on paper. Over the past

twenty-four years the gallery

has established a reputation

for works of quality and

excellence by Modern and

contemporary artists.

■ Despite Chadwick’s well-

established reputation as

one of the most important

Modern British sculptors,

‘Lynn Chadwick: draughtsman’

is the first major exhibition to

focus on his mastery of line in

two dimensions.

Study for Seasons 1958

■ Early employment as an architectural draughtsman in Rodney Thomas’

studio gave Chadwick a career-long interest in structure and a fascination

with the way in which architecture, design and art can interact.

■ The exhibition brings together an impressive collection of drawings, including

‘Teddy Boy & Girl IV’ 1955 and ‘Teddy Boy & Girl V’ 1955, first shown at the 1956

Venice Biennale, where Chadwick was awarded The International Prize for

Sculpture.

■ Chadwick employed an Impressive range of techniques and media in order

to create different effects in his two-dimensional work: bold, spiky ink lines

in ‘Study for Dance’ 1957, subtle monochrome ink and wash in ‘Study for

High Wind’ 1980, innovative use of wax-resist with coloured wash and ink

in ‘Study for Beast’ 1958, lively, expressive woodblock monoprints and surprisingly

bright colour with linear ink details in ‘Standing Man’ 1961.

■ A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition, with an insightful

introduction by Rungwe Kingdon, Chadwick’s bronze founder since 1982.

“The drawings give us a beautiful and intimate glimpse into Chadwick’s making

process. Famously private, few people were ever allowed access to his studio

during work time. However, in the vigour and directness of his drawings and

graphic work we are involved in Chadwick’s thinking process and his visual

language.”
