John Plumb was an English abstract painter who emerged in Britain after World War II. Represented in the American Institute of Architects’ abstract exhibitions of 1953 and 1957, and in the Situation exhibitions in 1960 and 1961, alongside Bridget Riley, William Turnbull, Robyn Denny, and other notable artists. At that time, Plumb made composed bold hard-edged single-hued shapes with an immaculately crafted finish, produced by methods that were partly improvisational.
