A powerful triptych – on one side, a fiercely upright self- portrait of the artist clutching a huge bouquet against a stark black backdrop; on the other, a man literally down-and-out as he crouches in the bottom right corner – is mediated by a central panel of a vertiginous urbanscape glimpsed down a narrow street. In paintings of flower, shoe and charity shops, and in a taut yet palpitating pastel of Borough Market, Held explores with vibrant subtlety both the beautiful and brutal paradoxes of transient quotidian life in this great palimpsest of a capital city.
