Marc Vaux

In this monographic publication, art critic Norbert Lynton gives the reader a walk through Marc Vaux’s formative years at the Slade, as part of the 1960s London booming art scene, up to his structural works of the 2000s.

By looking at seminal pieces from each decade, Vaux’s entire production is presented through an analytical perspective made of the elements most dear to him: colour, object, shape, edge, and more recently light.

‘[…] they suggest what Vaux means when he speaks of the mysterious existence of his art. It is something more than going beyond the facts of what we see in the way that great art always does. […] With his chaste formats and supercharged colours Vaux makes paintings that are indeed objects for meditation.’
