Birds of Paradise
by ulalume 18.06.12 15:15
Heather Nevay's grotesque, ageless children, in boxes or with boxes stand still in transparent clothes on mythical landscapes. They also stand facing the exquisite elegance of Whyn Lewis’s harts and hounds that hover timelessly on monochromes. While Peter Thomson’s families - as nightmares - are forever self-absorbed, and noisy, in the next room.
This refreshing collection of new-surreal high-finish paintings has temporarily cast its net on a side street off Tottenham Court Road. Most of the busy lunchtime queuing and stressed of life passers by will continue their daily cycle undisturbed. The lucky few will fall gladly into this Venus Flytrap; this magical place that puts all work troubles into perspective, as these birds of paradise, though trapped, like us, stare back, for once, acknowledging us.
