From: buggo Category: Art Date: 06 July 2006 Time: 01:13 PM Review: http://www.rosywilde.co.uk/ Stella Vine's gallery is reborn above the Ann Summers sex shop in Soho's Wardour Street. Seems all too perfect a setting, though once you have climbed two flights of stairs you encounter a non-seedy, non-sex shoppy, room with white walls and stripped floors. It is a nice space, as the mealy mouthed always say, what I mean is that amid the hustle and bustle and tourists and drunks and gays and hetero lads and lasses and gay lads of Soho, the capital of the capital of bohemianism, seems wonderful to find a little place to see art. Not like slightly tasteless Riflemaker, perhaps one could see a room full of perfect Goya like masterpieces up the stairs, or watch a brain-frying film in a small dark place. Lomax's show seemed to be of feminine heros, heroines, or icons or something, or did I just hallucinate that from the invite. The best painting was of lots of little faces in ovals, and had the right level of paintingness and fanzine. The more conventional compositions were just that.
