ING Discerning Eye exhibition 2015

ING Discerning Eye exhibition, Mall Galleries, 12 - 22 November, 2015 organised by Parker Harris , sponsored by ING Commercial Banking 2015 Selectors:    Artists:    Emma Bridgewater ,  Nicole Farhi,   Collectors:    Larry Lamb,   Stephen Snoddy   Critics:    Stephen Doherty,   Steve Pill The Mall Galleries provide an excellent venue for a show like Discerning Eye, which encompasses six displays presented by its selectors and the dynamic Discerning Eye Drawing Bursary shortlisted works.   I visited the exhibition on the first morning of opening and discovered that two of my paintings had been chosen by Nicole Farhi and one by Larry Lamb!   The standard and range of work on show is awesome and I spent a happy couple of hours just looking and admiring the artistic diversity, fantasizing over what I would buy if money and space were no object.   Given that wall hung artworks must not exceed 20 x 20 inches/50 x 50 cm, the restriction doesn’t confer boring uniformity o
