Daniel Sturgis

Within Britain he feels closest to those eclectic figures who flatten things out: Peter Kinley, Patrick Caulfield.

[9]The critic Terry R Myers writes: I'm convinced that Sturgis has the art historical backbone to support the leaps of formal, spatial and representational faith that his work performs.

He has thought a lot about not only the manner in which the language of abstraction has moved... from the exclusive realm of high modernism to the more inclusive space of design.

Fully contributing to the current discourse in which abstraction can itself be understood as a subcategory of representation, the goal of Sturgis's paintings is that they remain fundamentally open, even accommodating, when it comes to a viewer's interpretations.

These include, Bauhaus Utopia in Crisis[11] Camberwell Space and Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (2020/21), The Indiscipline of Painting Tate St Ives[12] and Warwick Art Centre (2011/12), Daniel Buren Voile Toile/Toile Voile Wordsworth Trust Grasmere (2005) and Jeremy Moon - a retrospective (2001) a UK touring exhibition.
