Lot Essay

‘I believe in an art of daylight, constructed to utilise our conscious faculties, an art modestly pointing ways towards regeneration and an end to the luxury lie of ‘angst’ exploitation. An art offering possibilities for deploying the inventive energies in close concord with the fertile potentialities of a rational approach’
Anthony Hill
