Lot Essay

"His work, showing derelict industrial plants and the doorways of old bureaucracies has the pictorial stability of Piero della Francesca. His Still Life in Empty Factory is an example: the perspectives and linear logic of the Renaissance assert their hauntingpowers of description. He loves the surfaces that he depicts". (R Nelson, op.cit.)
