Larkin Erdmann Gallery is pleased to present March Avery, Who We Are, the gallery’s first exhibition of works by the American artist March Avery (*1932) and her first exhibition in mainland Europe.

Comprising oil on canvas paintings ranging from the mid-1960s up until the present day, March Avery, Who We Are aims to offer an intimate insight into Avery’s practice as a painter throughout six decades of her career. March Avery draws inspiration for her paintings from scenes of her life, where her models were often her friends and family, including her son Sean, and through her paintings we see life as through her eyes. At first glance, Avery’s works are distinguished by their shared colour palette – fluorescent and vibrant yet muted and highly sensitive all at the same time. There is a no-nonsense approach to compositions and subject matter: as Avery herself said, ‘I paint what’s available, if there were no people, I’d do more still lifes’.
