An unusual exhibition as the two artists are mother and son.

  1. Very interesting.
    I quite like the 1988 paintings, the gaze and the one above it.

  2. Hi Liam. I quite like the one of the back.

    What I forgot to say when writing up the post is that the painting that is featured on the poster for the exhibition was painted by both of them: he did the right side and she did the left.
