everything is electrified

today, quite by chance: another stumble into the Collective/Camden Town Unlimited gallery space. this time: a small collection of pictures by London figurative artist Joe Simpson. taking a break from his usual concentration on portraits and scenes with a cinematic quality, Simpson has assembled some works themed around electricity pylons, telegraph poles and grand skies. quotidian poles and pylons are among the taken-for-granted objects closely examined here at/by this is my england. so a little time among these silent structures in the white quiet of the long planky room, exchanging a few words with Simpson himself and then pushing off back to workaday world. again. pleasant interlude. the exhibition continues until 29th Jan. and pieces can be bought at prices between £40 and £650
