But that doesn't stop this exhibition, which wears it heart on its sleeve and sheaths
its ambition in a velvet glove, from striking a blow for the girl in all of us.»
Working
in oils on aluminium panel, Early's colour - saturated mini-narratives combine the splendour of Renaissance and Romantic painting with the rawness of contemporary life, a splendid example of the iron fist
in a
velvet glove strategy, examining the sensitive and personal aspects of conflict,
ambition and entropy
in an opulent, cinematic style.
