Throughout the decade, he worked between Cornwall and a rented studio off the Fulham Road, developing highly abstracted, compositional style.By 1966, he had had his first solo show of paintings at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh, organised by Richard Demarco.

*KITTY HILLIER (b. 1984) Untitled, 2008, abstract composition, signed and dated in pencil verso, mixed media on plywood panel, with incised work throughout, 122cm x 106.5cm, Note: Born in Londoin 1984, Kitty grew up in rural Somerset.
