Event Description
Barrie Szekely finds inspiration from walks in his urban environment: "it is here that I get random images, juxtapositions, oddities, repetition; those things we take for granted. It seems that nature in this urban environment reveals itself slowly in bits, in pieces, fragments, something here, something there. This random juxtaposition of nature and urban has become an endless source of invention to be recalled and to be painted. The paintings are visual compost-layers that stall thought, trying to reconcile one item with another".
