W/M: Polar Abstraction

A collection of work by artists William Dawson and Miriam Davies living in Porthleven, Cornwall. William and Miriam met at Cardiff School of Art and Design where they studied. They're both influenced by the 1950's Abstract / Abstract Expressionism movement with artists such as Mark Rothko and Willem De Kooning being extremely important to their practice. 

"Within abstract expressionism were two broad groupings: the action painters (who attached their canvases with expressive brush strokes); and the painters who filled their canvases with abstract forms and fields of colour." - Tate
