One of New Zealand’s most important abstract expressionists, Allen Maddox explored the tensions of structure and gesture in his paintings. Focussing on the form of crosses and grids, his paintings are full of gestural and tonal exuberance. They are rich with spontaneity as he experimented with varying styles and sizes of paintbrush, different colour combinations, and compositions.

Gow Langsford Gallery has represented Allen Maddox since 1987 and continues to represent his estate.
