WOW, I loved this exhibition, the loosely, energetic way that he paints and the use of the height and ceiling to display the paintings. I especially liked the ‘Newgate Prison Door’ that he obtained after the Prison was demolished and someone had salvaged it in the early part of the 20th century. He’s incorporated into one of the pieces, steeped in so much history. You could just imagine all the loved ones coming to see their imprisoned spouses, waiting outside and the corruption of the guards within, looking out. The 2nd picture reminds me of Egon Schiele.
