Alice fighting Bosch devils, cartoons replacing characters in famous paintings, superimposed on elaborate, decorative floral motives: these paintings, you cannot ignore; large in scale, powerful colours, they are there. But where is the feeling? I stood before them amazed, even impressed, but cold. Too decorative? Too tongue-in-cheek? Too self-aware? Their technical perfection and hard work convinced me to include this exhibition here. But a future diversion in style and ideas can only tip the balance.
