Flowers New York presented a solo exhibition of works by British painter Roger Hilton from February 20 to March 27, 2004, at its 1000 Madison Avenue location. Hilton, known for his abstract expressionist and figurative works, was a key figure in the St Ives group alongside Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, and Terry Frost. The exhibition featured his dynamic, often visceral paintings and drawings, reflecting his belief that art is a 'blood and death battle' requiring total commitment. Hilton's career spanned from post-war abstraction to later figurative pieces, and his work has been widely exhibited internationally.
