		Gillian Ayres has a recent Lund Humphires hardback monograph out about her, written by Mel Gooding, which is sitting here on the desk, and obviously isn't a pretend exhibition, it's meant to be read as a book, meant to showcase the life as well as the work of Ayres.
		Ayres gradually making some kind of rhythmic and patterned sense from it, even as - to my eye - the paint got more and more tired, the colour less luminous and more grey.
		It's clear Ayres was much more influenced by what was going on at the time than her later work might suggest; there's little suggestion of a strong, independent character at work.

		Although Gillian Ayres is my guest, taking her out to lunch makes me feel as though I am being spoiled by a favourite aunt.
		Ayres herself came of age in the hard-drinking, coffee and cigarettes culture of London in the 1950s, a world where Bacon was king.
		Like the eminent critic, Ayres possesses an uncanny ability to be both feisty and gracious at the same time, a quality that emerges when I ask whether her trademark style – broad, gestural, abstract brush strokes laden with colour and painted onto enormous canvases – was influenced by the Abstract Expressionists.

	Scarba by Gillian Ayres B. 1930 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		At first it appears that Gillian Ayres' habit of choosing place names as the titles of her works (in this case, Scarba is an island off the west coast of Scotland) assists the viewer in their search.
		However, no clue is intentionally offered, her paintings are, 'purely abstract in the sense that they represent no recognisable forms or actual spaces; those we descry in the paintings are of our own making and intrinsic to the experience the paintings offer the eye'.
		Scarba from 1980, is one of the paintings that marks Ayres' shift from her complete rejection of subject matter in the 1970s to the development of the brightly coloured, clearly discernible forms that characterise her work through the mid 1980s to the present day.
