Waddington Galleries, 11 Cork Street, Piccadilly, W1S 3LT
How Much:

Ian Davenport is clearly fascinated not only by the colour of paint but also by its physical properties. His huge multi-coloured works are created by letting the paint run down the canvas. These works examine the balance between the the natural world's tendency towards the random and the artist's desire for control.
Whilst the process of creating this kind of painting must be a little bit tedious (a bit like watching paint dry?) the results are consistently engaging: vibrant, textured, and rhythmical. Like a more mathematical Jackson Pollock, or a less anal Bridget Riley.
Until 07.11.09.
