From: ART REVIEWS Category: Art Date: 20 July 2008 Time: 04:19 AM Review: This had been getting rave reviews and the gray brigade were pretty busy in there late on a saturday afternoon. The paintings were initially uninspiring, late 19th century melancholy with a nod to Vermeer. The best ones are of empty rooms because they have that fashionable contemporary emptiness, and do actually evoke empty room with all their ghost and gone to dust hopes. The paintings with figures imbue the people with academic stifness. The general brushiness is pretty much the same in every picture. Not a massive surprise but ok in a way.
