S T B E T HNAL G R E EN R H A C K N E Y R D H O X T O N S T C U RT A I N R O k f a Ffiona Lewis ‘Whitewash Stone’ Ffiona Lewis's continued sojourn in East Anglia is having a strong effect on her work. Maybe it's the opportunity for solitary reflection and thought as much as the light and colours of coastal Suffolk where she is based, the watery steppes and huge skies that to an American, Martha Gellhorn, looked 'cold and dun-coloured'. Certainly her landscapes are bigger and have a new blackness and bleakness about them: much more is being risked, much more won. Interspersed with these are smaller still lifes, studies and flower paintings. Anything but seaside winsome. ( Redfern Gallery , Map 30) SD THUMB nails
