Notes
"His pub paintings – preferably in pastels which enable him to exploit the subtle nuances of colour to the upmost – are studies of atmosphere, depicting smoke-filled air, the glistening of multi-coloured drinks in glasses, the bonhomie, the gestures and non-verbal interaction of the patrons, the coquetry of the women-and often the loneliness in the eyes that gives the lie to the presumption of happiness in togetherness. "—Martin Bekker, 19911
