Mon–Sat 9.30–5.30 nettie@francis-iles.com www.francis-iles.com t 01634 843081 witty and ever-so-slightly sinister gives Simon Garden's paintings a curious sense of Tolkien meets Brueghel with a dash of Surrealism thrown in. And, as his latest show at Slader's Yard (shared with Alf Stockham and Stephen Jacobson) reminds us, nicely painted too. Julian Meredith seems to be addicted to the large-scale: as well as making gigantic, site- specific installations on themes directly related to his driving passion for natural history –a stone whale on Colonsay was c.500ft long –he regularly produces colossal 30ft long prints from single planks of dead elmwood. His latest print show at North House Gallery covers a huge range of themes, in parti- cular his current passion for sea and river, the patterns of fish and bird migration and the flow of air and water. The outcome is both technically and visually stunning. Nicholas Usherwood
