About the artist:

Avis Newman (b. 1946) is an artist, curator and lecturer. She is Professor at Wimbledon School of Art and Lecturer at the Rijks Academy, Amsterdam. Avis Newman's drawings and large un-stretched canvases document her contemplative and intuitive investigation of the subconscious. Throughout her career she has worked with a range of media, although since the early 1980s has been primarily associated with large-scale, minimalist drawings on un-stretched canvas - usually pinned directly to the gallery walls for display. Central to Newman’s own practice as an artist is the notion of drawing as the silent act of marking, gesturing and making signs.
