Robyn Denny

Robyn Denny, born in Abinger, Surrey, as among a group of young artists who transformed the direction of British art in the late 1950s, propelling it into the international spotlight. The group rejected the dominance of St Ives School of landscape-based painting, drawing inspiration instead from Abstract Expressionism, American cinema, popular culture, and urban modernity, creating a new visual language to comment on the world in which they lived.
