So all the hard work has been done and its time to relax before the private view. The exhibition looks stunning. Everyone is exhausted but pleased with the results. There is this odd lull now before the private view when it all feels too quiet. A space full of lovely art but empty of people; images holding their breath.
In this void I find time to reflect on the ways in which Weef and Max's works combine and contrast, with both the gallery space and each others viewpoints. Max's black and white imagery of London, cityscapes and greenery, create a calm balance. Weef's bright carrier bag canvases feel hectic and, dare I admit it, even angry. The portrait gallery brings together photos and drawings, combining both artists in a way which highlights the similarities in their outlook.
