Bob Law: Field Works 1959-1999

More about the book

Bob Law's Field works explore the relationship between space and time through minimalist line drawings, inspired by his surroundings in St Ives during the late 1950s. He transformed elements of the landscape, such as the sun and trees, into abstract signs within a rhomboid frame, reflecting his connection to the earth and its environmental conditions. His technique evolved into more refined monochrome pieces, including 'open' and 'closed' drawings, culminating in the significant Mister Paranoia series.
