Veteran abstract artist Paul Huxley has had a long and distinguished career both as an artist and an educator at some of Britain’s most prestigious art institutions. In this episode, he talks about studying at junior art school, his attraction to abstract painting, getting a career boost at The New Generation exhibition in 1964, befriending legendary abstract expressionist figures while in New York, the influence of other artists and of theatre on his works, his experience of teaching art and the challenges he loves about determining the shapes, size, colour, balance and relationships within the geometric and serpentine features that characterise his paintings.
