The 1970s are famous for many colourful ideas in the world art and music, but it was also an era of economic struggle, cultural change and technological innovation.
The Minimalist art movement emerged in New York as a group of younger artists began to question the overly expressive works of Abstract Expressionist artists.
Minimalist art instead focused on anonymity, calling attention to the materiality of works.
It is into this important decade of history that 4 of the artists Colley Ison Gallery represent were born.
Reuben Colley, Rick Garland, Roxana Halls and Danny Howes all have their own distinct creative style, but all are influenced by growing up in this amazing decade.
