About

Why this artist matters now

Sandra Blow was a British abstract painter and collage artist who emerged in the postwar period. Working primarily with oil paint, paper, and mixed materials, she developed a gestural abstract language that incorporated bold color fields and tactile surface treatments. Her practice engaged with both European modernism and the experiential immediacy of materials themselves, establishing her as a significant figure in British abstraction of the 1950s onward.
