Martin Fuller’s latest exhibition can be seen at the Adam

Gallery, 24 Cork Street, London W1 (until 22 December). Fuller was born in Leamington Spa in 1943, and in the Sixties went to the Mid-Warwickshire and Hornsey Colleges of Art, before winning a GuggenheimMcKinley Scholarship.

His first one-man exhibition was at Bristol’s Arnolfini Gallery (1968), and since then he has exhibited in Dublin, Oxford, Bath, Santa Fe, Paris and many other cities.

This exhibition brings together more than 20 of his latest pictures, about which Howard Jacobson writes in the catalogue: ‘These are dense, rich, tactile paintings, delicious even when their colours are subdued, the paint in constant agitation, the brush, you feel, never satisfied or still.’ Included in the show is
