Gordon House: Polymers to Pop
James Alexander
Tuesday 17 March 2026, The Art Workers’ Guild | 6:30pm
Gordon House (1932—2004) was a significant but little-known London based artist and designer.
In the late ’50s the 26-year-old House was commuting from London to Welwyn Garden City for his work as a graphic designer at ICI Plastics. By the end of the swinging ’60s his trajectory had taken him to work on The Beatles’ White Album with Richard Hamilton.
Ex-chair James Alexander’s talk will chart the working life of Gordon House, not only a
post-war modernist designer (whose work has yet to be included in the graphic design cannon), but also a successful artist, pioneer of fine art printmaking and feature of London’s art scene.
