Sheffield residents will be familiar with John Hoyland's large scale paintings, and maybe even his compact sculptural works, but Colour has a smaller, more intimate Hoyland painting on display. The flat surface of Hoyland’s works allow his use of colour to take centre stage. The bold shapes guide the viewers’ eyes across the work, focusing on big areas of bold colour. Don’t miss your chance to see this lesser-spotted Hoyland work in Colour at Millennium Gallery ✨ Colour, at the Millennium Gallery until Sun 14 Sep. Suggested donation £5 – please donate if you’re able and your donation will be doubled at no extra cost to you thanks to our Double the Donation, Double the Difference, match-funding campaign.
