Lot Essay

'Hurvin Anderson's meditative suite of paintings, 'Peter's Series' (2007-09), teleports the viewer back to a poorly remembered 1950s Britain. Here, in the intimate surrounds of a sparse blue-hued attic room, newly arrived Caribbean immigrants too poor to rent commercial property have set up a barbershop in their own home.
'Peter's Series' was made over a three-year period and it forms a record of Anderson's attempts to negotiate between abstraction and figuration.' (C. Perry, 'Hurvin Anderson', Frieze, February 2009, https://www.frieze.com/shows/review/hurvin_anderson [accessed 3rd September 2013]).
