Product story
Gillian Ayres was the first great English female abstract artist, and is widely acknowledged as one of Britain’s foremost abstract painters. Born in 1930, Ayres studied at Camberwell College of Art between 1945 and 1950 and worked initially in London and then to Cornwall where she currently lives.
Ayres’ first solo exhibition was at Gallery One in 1956, and her work has featured in many key group shows since, including the Whitechapel Art Gallery's seminal British Painting in the 60s in 1965. She was elected a Royal Academician in 1991 and in the Queen’s 2011 Birthday Honours List, she was awarded a CBE for services to the arts.
