Grey Element was painted in 1955 by William Gear whilst living in the village of Littlebourne, near Canterbury. The painting was exhibited at the Redfern Gallery in 1997 as part of the 'Golden Jubilee Exhibition', celebrating fifty years of Gear's artistic output. Unfortunately, the exhibition also became a memorial for the artist, as he passed away just two days after the opening.
