Description:

Pasmore's relief pieces of the late 1950s and early 1960s demonstrate how fully he had solved one of the major frustrations he had encountered in his abstract work, that of freeing his work from the confines of the two- dimensional painting and therefore giving them a life which responds to changes in setting and lighting to give infinite variation in how the piece can be seen. The introduction of industrial materials into the relief works of this period, particularly sheets of perspex, allowed an element of absolute precision to enter the work.
