Derrick Greaves. White Ground and Other Recent Paintings
Greaves's new white ground paintings are some of the most pared down images he has ever produced. Refined, abstracted images consisting of elegant coloured lines set against the clean white of the primed canvas ground, these paintings display the artist's characteristic wit, whilst being some of his most formally extreme pictures.

Childish Things. Michael Andrews, Georg Baselitz, Brassai, Lewis Chamberlain, Andre Kertesz, Henry Moore, Paula Rego, Edward Weston
Childish Things takes this theme of the adult's awareness of childhood as its starting point to explore different artist's attitudes to the subject. It includes images of a mother and child, children's dolls and toys and children at play and contrast images of innocence with something more disturbing undercurrents.

Violence and Sensation.
