Roger Hilton (1911-1975), Oi Yoi Yoi, 1963. Oil on canvas, 60 x 50 cm. Tate Gallery, London

“Abstraction in itself is nothing. It is only a step towards a new sort of figuration, that is, one which is more true” (Hilton, 1961)

Roger Hilton was one of the most original and most uncompromising abstract painters working in Europe or America during the 1950s. In the 1960s, however, figures and landscapes began to appear in his paintings. Such a departure seemed heretical to other artists working with abstraction.
Hilton's use of rich colour and texture, evoking the rhythms of natural phenomena led to an affinity with the St Ives modernists. His frequent visits to the town from the late 1950s no doubt underpinned his departure from abstraction and the landscape associations in his work at that time. Throughout his mature career Hilton had been concerned with the way forward for modern painting and with the tension between abstraction and figuration. Hilton's colourful dynamic images of women successfully bridged the gap between abstraction and figuration.
