Visit Cardi Gallery London to see an exhibition of works by renowned 20th century artist Gérard Schneider (1896 – 1986), a leading figure in the Lyrical Abstraction movement that emerged in Paris during the 1950s. ⁠
⁠
The exhibition presents paintings created between 1956 and 1981, tracing the evolution of the Swiss-French artist's formal vocabulary through the post-war years. The works demonstrate the artist’s tireless conviction in the poetics of abstraction, as well as the gradual adoption of a looser, more essential visual language influenced by Japanese calligraphy.⁠
⁠
The exhibition is open until 20 July at Cardi Gallery, Mayfair.⁠
Opening times: Monday-Friday 10am - 6pm; Saturday 11am - 6pm, with extended opening hours during London Gallery Weekend on Sunday 2 June, 12-5 pm.⁠
