Leon Kossoff

A major exhibition of 27 recent paintings and drawings by leading British artist Leon Kossoff will be held at Annely Juda Fine Art in London opening on 28 October 2010.Kossoff (b.1926) is one of Britain's greatest living artists. He continues to paint scenes of London as one of his abiding subjects - such as Hawksmoor's Christchurch, Spitalfields, which is represented in the exhibition by three major works. Central to the exhibition are depictions of a single cherry tree in a Willesden garden that Kossoff had viewed for years. When the tree began to lean, the decision was made to buttress it with two wooden stakes, rather than let it fall to decay. It is in this rather poignant form that it became the focus of the body of work, both painted and drawn. It once must have belonged to a larger orchard, before the surrounding gardens were built, and in its singular form displays both strength and dignity
