Following on from his first solo exhibition, Grunt, at the Broadway Gallery in Letchworth in the Spring, Abbott, an artist who thrives on intuition and spontaneity, brings his unique and colourful style to The Settlement. Making artwork across disciplines, collage, sculpture, performance, his main focus has been experimental abstract drawing since graduating from Camberwell College of Arts in 2012.
His drawings emerge without a predetermined outcome, exploring composition, mark-making, and negative space. Over time, recurring motifs have surfaced; checkerboards, bold black squares, mushroom-like forms, and hieroglyphic symbols, interwoven within organic, gestural marks.
Rooted in life drawing, self-portraiture, and a childhood of cartooning, Abbott’s experimental approach matured through a fascination with performance and the intersections of drawing, collage, and sculpture.
The artist will have unframed original drawings and collages, framed artworks, zines and badges for sale.
