Surprise! I really liked this show having found toyman boring since i had him shoved down my oesophagus as a student. The images, found, distanced, screens, yawn are no great shakes, but the scrubby paintwork brings them alive in pleasing ways. A bit paint but numbers but then the choice of colour and odd blending hits you like a shot of espresso, or a beer, or just something nice.
