His latest solo exhibition at Lemon Street Gallery in Truro (opening in March) is very characteristic of the style and subject matter he has evolved over that time, above all the qualities of light that shimmer over stretches of water at particular times of the day, most notably at sunset and dawn, and painted in a richly colouristic style reminiscent, to me at least, of the much missed Donald Hamilton Fraser, and ultimately tracing back to the 1950s experimentations of Nicholas de Staël’s Tachisme.
