There have been exceptional visitor numbers to our current exhibition, Keith Vaughan: States of Tension, since we opened on 4th March, and we have also benefitted from media coverage. Several of the paintings on show have not been available to buy for many years and are accompanied by impressive exhibition history. The exhibition continues until Thursday 2nd April, with the added opportunity to visit us at 21 Cork Street Mayfair this coming Saturday, 28th March (10am – 2pm).

Pictured: Seated Figure, 1951
Oil on canvas
91.5 x 71.1 cm (36 x 28 in)

Though Vaughan first encountered Picasso’s work in the 1930s while working as a designer, his visits to the 1946 V&A exhibition, Picasso and Matisse, provided an opportunity to study his paintings more closely. The impact was decisive. Vaughan’s figures acquired greater weight, articulation and physical presence, while anatomical proportions became deliberately manipulated. In Seated Figure, the head is reduced in scale while the torso is enlarged; the upraised leg conveys weight and tension, transferring force downward through the table leg. Attenuated limbs and squared joints emphasise bodily mechanics.
Seated Figure was first exhibited at the Lefevre Gallery in London in 1951. As soon as the exhibition opened, the collector Peter Meyer (dubbed ‘the Charles Saatchi of the 1950s’) purchased it. Meyer kept the painting for the rest of his life, where it took pride of place in his Chelsea home and was regarded as the jewel of his collection.

Keith Vaughan: States of Tension is now open!

Osborne Samuel Gallery are delighted to present their sixth major exhibition dedicated to the work of Keith Vaughan.
Whilst we have previously staged solo shows of this important modern British artist, this is the first to be held in our new location at 21 Cork Street, in the heart of Mayfair.
Twenty-eight significant paintings will be included in the exhibition (oils and works on paper), the majority of which are for sale. Together, they cover almost the entire chronological spectrum of Vaughan’s career; the earliest dating from 1935, the latest being 1975, the penultimate year of the artist’s life.

The exhibition continues until 2 April 2026.

“Burns mixes his metallics not only into the dilute washes with which he first floods the canvas, but into the colours of his oil and wax medium, a palette of various greys with admixtures of green, terre verte, rose madder and mauve, applied in striated impasto and impregnated with silver, gold, pewter and copper.” – Ian Massey

Signed copies of the new monograph of Brendan's work written by Ian Massey available from the gallery bookshop at a special price during the exhibition £36 +p&p.

Showing a winter landscape in which the moon hangs low over the horizon. Bushes cast pallid shadows, and whitened seed heads appear like fireworks against the sky. The cross on the roof of the chapel is reflected below. This detail, coupled with the title 'Legend in December', suggests a memory of Christmas.
