In the Spotlight
Et in Arcadia lego, Paul Collinson‘s large-scale photo realist painting (pictured below), has been given a whole room to itself at Dean Clough Galleries, following its appearance in the John Moores exhibition. Deciphering the ideology of landscape, Collinson’s starting point for his paintings are scale models he constructs himself.
13 June – 6 September 2015, Dean Clough Galleries, Halifax, Yorkshire.
