About Pharmaka
Stanley Dorfman
Stanley Dorfman began making art in the late 1940’s. Dorfman was part
of the Penworth Society of Arts in St. Ives and took part in group
exhibitions at the Redfern gallery in London. Dorfman’s early work was
in line with Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson who wanted to apply
'constructivist' principles to public and private art, advocating
mathematical precision, clean lines and an absence of
ornament.Dorfman’s earliest works followed and upheld this Modernist
Philosophy. But in a very short time Dorfman’s paintings became freer
and more playful, with structures of color dancing like pieces of a
modern building that were magically held together by the hand of the
artist. This musicality progressed in Dorfman’s work while maintaining
the drawn lines of Modernism. These lines became the substructure of
Dorfman’s work, which he now uses to contain planes of color like a
stain glass window that references itself as a direct descendant of
Modernism.
