The way I see it, this is modern day landscape painting. Maybe in the same way that people put paintings of fields in their city homes to remind them of the countryside, perhaps these urban landscapes would work well in a country retreat!

Agreed, i was looking forward to seeing the show, i have only her good things about her work, the detail in the paintings looks stunning. Modern, urban landscapes will have more relevance to many more people than the classic Landsacape paintings of yester year.

Miranda Donovan at Laz, by pezlow on May 9, 2008 20:23:58 GMT 1, I popped in on the show today. Quite like it and I like the 3 dimensionality of it. But I think there are better artists out there doing this kind of thing. Also I do object to art like this being put in a perspex box. It's supposed to be gritty and urban but the plastic round it just sanitises the whole thing.

Same could be said for Matt Small's work. Defeats the object by putting a ยฃ300 perspex frame round a recycled found object.
