Quiet Company: Paintings and Linocuts by Will South

Across a body of work spanning paintings, drawings, linocuts and even wry cartoon sketches, Will South approaches image-making as an ongoing act of attention: to the human figure, to the small observed moment and to the discipline of a single line. South’s portraits and figurative drawings reveal a hand trained by decades of looking closely at other artists’ work, filtered through a sensibility that is unmistakably his own — direct, unsentimental and quietly humane.
