Robert McPartland uses the repeating forms of commonplace objects in his still life paintings and drawings. Of interest here are the inclusion of leaves, fruit and vegetables that frequently appear; set against spoons, crumpled foil and paper spirals, you are able to meditate on their contrasting shapes, textures and energies. McPartland seems to be avoiding colour this year, but previous works show a bold array, which along with surrealist elements, lift-up these staged, affecting compositions.
