London - Toni Heath Gallery is proud to present “Is That All There is?”, an exhibition of 15 new paintings by Chris Gollon, previously unseen.  Friday 26 May to Saturday 17 June.  The paintings present both the artist’s strong personal view and a reflective look at human life, at life revisited and its cracked beauty.

Born in London in 1953, Chris Gollon is an established name in British painting.  In 1998, he exhibited with Yoko Ono, David Bowie & Gavin Turk in “ROOT”, a crossover exhibition of contemporary music and art created by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, at the Chisenhale Gallery, London.  In 2001, the award-winning River & Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames (with the aid of the Victoria & Albert Museum) purchased Gollon’s hinged tryptich “Big Fish Eat Little Fish”, which now forms part of the permanent collection alongside works by Elizabeth Frink and Raoul Dufy.

In 2004, Chris Gollon was invited to show in St. Paul’s Cathedral with Craigie Aitchison, Bill Viola and Tracey Emin.  In 2005, the Huddersfield Art Gallery purchased a major work by Chris Gollon entitled “Einstein & The Jealous Monk”, which now hangs in the permanent collection alongside works by L.S. Lowry and Francis Bacon.
