“His boy figures, looming, tightly framed and cartoon-cropped in their
coastal or pastoral landscapes, don’t stare you in the face – nothing
here of the eyes that follow you around the room. But they prompt a curiosity
about the interior monologues that are going on, the life lived on either side
of the moment frozen in paint. And because the representations are more aspirational
than conventionally heroic, the images have a very specific poignancy to them
that stays, for the most part, on the sharp, not the sentimental side of the
register”.
