Prunella Clough

(

1919–1999

)

proo-nel-la kluff

Clough built a world where industry met tenderness.

Her paintings distill urban texture into abstraction, transforming machinery into empathy.

‍

In her world, work becomes poetry.

Structural Focus

Reduction with Atmosphere

Form is reduced without becoming cold or purely rational. Minimal means are used to produce calm, resonance, or emotional density.

In Prunella Clough’s work, this approach appears where industrial fragments structure abstraction.

Position

Reduction with Atmosphere

Form is reduced without becoming cold or purely rational. Minimal means are used to produce calm, resonance, or emotional density.

In Prunella Clough’s work, this approach appears where industrial fragments structure abstraction.

Form is governed by rigid rules, limits, and non-negotiable constraints.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Post-War Abstraction

Abstraction responds to rupture through scale, gesture, and structure.

Visual structure is distilled into autonomous, non-representational form.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.
