Glenn Sujo was born in Buenos Aires in 1952, spent his early life in Venezuela, and studied in Britain and the USA in the 1960s, living in Britain and Israel in later life. This portfolio was made in 1973 when the artist was a student at Slade, and 20 years later was reprinted, editioned and published. It represents a significant moment in the young artist's career when he shifted away from the influence of Mondrian and other abstract artists to a more figurative approach.
