Excellent Michael, lovely mixing of colours. A scene reminiscent of a Bomberg. A great improvement being seen here. An exciting piece.

Fabulous colours and washes. I even recognise it. I went in the late 80s and it was a very interesting experience. I also went to the Euan Uglow Exhibition as I mentioned some time ago. The curator is a PhD student, and intern I think. It is absolutely amazing, very imaginative, and she will have done her career no harm at all. The Collection in Lincoln is where it is at, as it the BP Portrait Award, The Usher Gallery.
