Donald Locke - Resistant Forms

Resistant Forms is a fully illustrated monograph celebrating the first major survey exhibition of Donald Locke (1930-2010), organised by Spike Island, Bristol; Ikon Gallery, Birmingham; and Camden Art Centre, London. Charting the development of his work across Guyana, the UK and the United States over five decades, from the mid-1960s to the late 2000s, this richly illustrated volume offers an in-depth exploration of Locke's expansive practice. Gathering newly commissioned essays by curator Grace Aneiza Ali, curator Gina Buenfeld-Murley, artist Eddie Chambers and art historian Giulia Smith alongside an extended introduction by Robert Leckie, Resistant Forms features full-colour plates of the artist's work, rarely seen material from the artist's archive and a comprehensive timeline. The book has been designed by London-based studio Wolfe Hall.
