New Year, New Look at Møller Centre

There is a new look in the iconic Danish designed Møller Centre. 

Located in their Study Centre, artist, Albert Irvin RA, in collaboration with his gallery Gimpel Fils, has generously loaned a selection of his paintings and prints to be viewed by clients and guests.

Albert Irvin RA is one of the UK’s most exuberant, colourful and widely-respected British artists. Now aged 90, Irvin began his artistic career at Northampton School of Art from 1940 to 1941, and taught at Goldsmiths College of Art, London for many years. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1998 and continues to live and work in London.

At first, Irvin’s work was figurative, painting subjects that he knew at first hand, such as people in domestic surroundings and portraits: the figure gradually disappeared and gave way to a new abstract language. Increasing the scale and moving away from naturalistic colour, Irvin conceived the picture space metaphorically as a terrain with affinities both to London street maps and to landscape. Thereafter he developed an interest in greater spatial complexity. His subsequent work is a collage of gestural strokes, symbols and cross-hatching in lively, chromatically intense compositions.

“This is a new way of supporting the local community by using the facilities we have as a gallery for such an internationally renowned artist” comments Christine Hartshorne, Marketing Manager at The Møller Centre. “Design is of key strategic importance to The Møller Centre as the facilities has been designed to inspire collaborative creative thinking. Irvin’s work helps to extend this aspiration, and his abstract and colourful pieces provide a new experience to our clients and guests to enhance creative thinking. All of Irvin’s artworks on display are for sale through Gimpel Fils, London.”

The Møller Centre is located at Churchill College, University of Cambridge and is one of the UK’s Conference Centres of Excellence. 

With a business strategy of high level service and quality, and getting it right first time for the client, The Møller Centre has built a successful business that clients trust.
