He exhibited at the Redfern Gallery from 1933 to 1959, at the Royal Accademy from 1943 to 1972, and has shown in provincial and London galleries and abroad. His work is represented in collections including the Tate Gallery. From 1946 to 1975 he taught at the West of England College of Art, Bristol. Initially influenced by Cezanne and by his Cornish environment, in the mid 1960s connections with the landscape disapeared from his work and he has worked since then with a restricted range of geometric forms.
