Hampstead & Highgate Express, Helen Smithson, Art Critic  (8.10.99)  “Whether you like the work or not is hardly the question: it somehow rings true... The show displays the work of the 12-strong group and is linked undeniably by the directness that Thomson lays claim to. ‘The work is about an authentic engagement with experience and vision, which is put into pictures that communicate that clearly, directly and memorably,’ he says. Whether this is Archway-based Ella Guru's dramatic portraits of men in beehive wigs...an axe-wielding Jayne Mansfield figure by the self-taught artist Joe Machine, or RA-trained Charles Williams's Home from the Abbatoir. They are nothing if not direct. It is this emotional honesty that seems to be at the core of the work... Humour, rather than the 'wit' of the YBAs is another appealing aspect to their work.”  First art critic to visit and write on a Stuckist show.
