Mon–Sat 10–6 rebecca@r-h-g.co.uk www.r-h-g.co.uk t 020 7255 2828 THUMB nail Guyana-born Aubrey Williams can be regarded as one of the great lost voices of late 20th C. painting. Much lauded when he workedin the UK in the 50s and 60s, his decision to return to Jamaica in the 70s anda growing tendency to mix abstract andfigurative themes in his work, proveda form of critical suicide – the show running parallel to the October Gallery 's at the Walker in Liverpool is the first ever given to him in a national gallery. They are astonishing paintings in every way, not least for their remarkable prescience about our imminent ecological suicide.
