The first major retrospective of this remarkable artist in 17 years.
One Self: The Creative Life of Colin Self is the first major retrospective of this remarkable artist in 17 years. Containing over 120 works of art, it celebrates the boundless creative spirit of an artist whose dedication to the act of making spans over six decades.
The exhibition explores the artist's significant contribution to twentieth-century art, complex relationship with the London art scene and deliberate positioning on the margins of the art world, including periods of self-imposed exile and solitude.
Created in close collaboration with the artist and his wife, and only on show at Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery, One Self: The Creative Life of Colin Self is a rare opportunity to explore the full career of one of the UK's most unpredictable and brilliant artists.
