“The paintings in this exhibition are as much an exercise in figuration, as they are a masterful control of colour. They are as much about representation as they are about construction…
These works demand that you look at them… with fresh eyes and with an air of familiarity…. (they) recall the real and imagined landscape of southern Spain.”
Miguel Olmo, Manager, Curator Gallery Lane Cove & Studios, 2023
