At the Summer Exhibition 2015 Royal Academy

Here are a few highlights and impressions of the Summer Exhibition this summer. I've reproduced the work here out of sheer awe and wonder at the work of these artists in the hope that others will appreciate and support them.

We move among the metal forest
where the nymphs are departed
and only our fractured shadows remain.

And finally click here for a review of the exhibition from the Telegraph. It's the closest review to my own thoughts about the SE. And besides it gives Norman Ackroyd's work a positive mention.
