Benefitting from the unpopularity of the unfamiliar

We saw two exhibitions at the Hauser and Wirth gallery:  a solo show of Don McCullin's photographs which was consistently crowded, and a mixed show titled Qwaypurlake - a title which hardly trips off the tongue.  There were many interesting pieces in the latter, but my favourites were two birds by Elisabeth Frink:

Elisabeth Frink: Large bird from here

Elisabeth Frink: Bird from here
Tucked away was a quiet attractive painting by Peter Lanyon:

Peter Lanyon: Anticoli Snow from here
At the end, on a large end wall were three beautiful large paintings by Ian McKeever:

Twelve - Standing III from here

Twelve - Standing V from here

Twelve - Standing IX from here
There were very few folks visiting this show when we were there, and of those who did wander in most seemed to whizz through.  I enjoyed a quiet long peruse.
