Euan Uglow: An Arc from the Eye: MK Gallery

14 February - 31 May 2026

MK Gallery

900 Midsummer Blvd, Milton Keynes, MK9 3QA

This exhibition celebrates one of Britain’s most significant twentieth-century painters. Renowned for his sustained observation and meticulous technique, Euan Uglow (1932–2000) often spent months or even years refining a single work, pursuing an exacting vision of visual truth through structure, colour, and light.

Curated by Catherine Lampert, this exhibition is the first solo presentation of Uglow’s work in a UK public institution for twenty years. Bringing together over forty paintings and drawings alongside works by his artistic influences—Paul Cézanne, Alberto Giacometti, and his former tutors William Coldstream, Victor Pasmore, and Claude Rogers—the exhibition offers an unparalleled insight into the precision, patience, and poetry of Uglow’s practice.

On loan:

Euan Uglow (1932-2000), The Blue Towel, 1982-83, and Study for Blue Towel, 1982.
