'I would like to make archetypal images of wholeness and have tried to broaden my work over the years, to stretch abstraction, giving it a human face, incorporating the radiance of Matisse and Rothko…' (John Hoyland, Invisible Artist or Performing Bear, from a talk first given at Tate, London in 1994, and again in 2005 in Mauritius)
