Notes
The scale and substance of Jack Heath’s major paintings are in sharp contrast to his humorous, madcap, and hugely inventive works on paper. In this light, Venusian Apartments has at its centre a fantastical geometric construction, linked together by lozenges, squares and strips of translucent pinks, blues and purples, and surrounded by blasts of yellow and green from behind an intricate, combed motif.
