Jack Milroy at the London Art Fair 2025
21st—26th January 2025
Benjamin Rhodes Arts is very pleased to announce its hosting of a solo presentation for this internationally celebrated artist at Stand 47 from the opening on January 21 through to January 26 We look forward to your visit!
His brilliant and mesmerising works have been enjoyed and wondered at by fair visitors over more than two decades, whilst his London exhibition history began almost fifty years ago. Collectors all over the world continue to follow his progress whilst museums such as London’s Victoria & Albert, the British Library and the Imperial War Museum, have acquired significant pieces over the years. There will be copies of the monograph ‘Cut Out’, edited and assembled by William Packer (Black Dog Publishing 2016). It refers to some of the many critics and writers who have touched on his work – they include A.S. Byatt (with whom there have been collaborative projects), Jackie Wullschlager, Philip Hensher and Mel Gooding.
The artist himself writes of two of the new pieces destined for this show:
“Trashcan World and its companion and more recent piece, Monkey, (detail above) have evolved from a piece Plantes de Rocaille made in 2011, where, after dismembering a book of the same title, I scrunched the pages leaving a cut rock flower still attached to the crumpled page/rock. I then proceeded to plant a rock garden.
“My interest then and now was in the delicate balance between chaos and order, destruction and creation, disarray and structure. This tension between disarray and structure mirrors broader themes in contemporary life, where complexity often underpins apparent simplicity, or more likely, simplicity underpins apparent complexity!”
