| exhibition archive The Discerning Eye Exhibition 1999 8th exhibition - 19 to 28 November 1999 Short of being allowed to choose liberally from the products of the sponsor, Charterhouse Securities, there can be few pleasures greater than selecting art ad lib! Making choices for the Discerning Eye exhibition has been a pleasure and a prejudice buster. Despite an innate disinclination toward the abstract and the aggressively modern, I found that a little of both were to be hung on my fantasy walls. Contemporary sculpture I was suspicious of, but greatly enjoyed selecting pieces from the crazed to the conventional. Figurative painting has always been my strong preference; I am not sure that we own a single painting without a person in it. Nonetheless, seascapes, landscapes and a still life have all slipped under the wire of this exhibition which has opened my eyes to their potential charm - when well-executed. I always like to think that any artist can draw an elbow, if challenged. Like an ungrammatical book or wrong notes in a symphony, art without technique grates. I hope that you will not spot any sloppy elbows or otherwise anatomically incorrect pieces here. | 4/3 | Beachy Head 20th October | £800 |
