Dacosta Gallery, 4 March to 8 May
This is an exhibition of more than a dozen paintings in which volatile, smoky and imprecise impressions are emphasised, but with a singular expressive effectiveness, constituting refined abstract representations of a moved and reverential empathy between the artist and nature.
