From: lenor lynton Category: Art Date: 22 May 2008 Time: 03:19 PM Review: Alison Watt, with her unfortunate name, has been around for ages appealing to the conservative brigades with pseudo classical painting. These folds called something like Ghost actually do work quite well as an installation, their white grey big size in the eerie late afternoon gallery light creates an ATMOSPhere. When you look close up at them they're not quite there with the marks, all a bit filling in a big canvas, rather than late de kooning.
