Leon Kossoff

30 Years is an exhibition marking three decades of the gallery’s programme, bringing together new, recent, and historic works by current and represented artists, alongside paintings by significant twentieth-century figures whose work Timothy Taylor has long championed.

Timothy Taylor is pleased to present a series of 15 prints by the late British artist Leon Kossoff (1926–2019) at the gallery’s space in London. In 1998, Kossoff created a series of etchings in response to religious and mythological paintings by Nicolas Poussin, the leading painter of the French Baroque court under Louis XIII. Poussin painted pastoral masterpieces such as The Triumph of Pan, The Rape of the Sabines, and Cephalus and Aurora in luminous colour with classical lines, in stark contrast to Kossoff’s own dark, jagged paintings.

Timothy Taylor, New York is pleased to present an exhibition of fifteen Leon Kossoff drawings selected from the artist’s studio. Spanning 60 years, each work exists as a contemporary snapshot, recording the pulse of everyday London.
