The fish’s marks are light, layered, open and airy; nicely fluid, if you will. The leaves and the faces are deeply nostalgic, conjuring autumn and the 70s. The faces are maybe awkwardly naïve, blunt, over-serious? They remind me of art from the WPA, or, weirdly, church.
The best bit is the interplay between the canvases and the painted walls: the former anchoring, the latter buoying, providing counterpoint and facilitating flow.
