A British contemporary artist, Claude Heath is rightly recognized as one of the most influential artists of his generation, known for infusing his work with a radical sense of experimentation. Using unconventional strategies, such as a blindfold to make drawings by touch, contour lines to describe an object, or drawing on surfaces hidden from view, Heath attempts to bridge the gap between sensation and its visual transcription. These drawing experiences often serve as a starting point for larger-scale works, including paintings and murals, the scale of which offers new scope for imagery.
