25 April–28 June 2025: The Way Forward: Derek Boshier and the Sixties at  Gazelli Art House, London

“Gazelli Art House London is pleased to present The Way Forward: Derek Boshier and the Sixties, the first posthumous solo exhibition dedicated to Derek Boshier (1937—2024). 

Curated with renowned art historian Marco Livingstone, the exhibition focuses on works from the 1960s and charts the transformations in Boshier’s worldview and visual style, in parallel to wider changes in society. This landmark presentation revisits Boshier’s pivotal transition from pioneering Pop figuration to bold geometric abstraction, a shift catalysed by his travels to India in 1962 under a Commonwealth scholarship.”

June 6–July 5, 2025: Meeting at the Horizon at ALOV Art, Santa Monica

“ALOV Art proudly presents Meeting at the Horizon, a group exhibition reuniting three pioneering multidisciplinary artists — Derek Boshier, Penny Slinger, and Philip Vaughan — whose creative journeys first converged in 1960s London. Educated at the UK’s top art institutions, the trio found common ground in their youth through experimentation and a shared desire to challenge boundaries. Their paths converged again in Los Angeles, shaped by decades of personal and artistic journeys.”
