Verhoeven's flat simplicity of form, repetition and lack of superfluous ornamentation demonstrate the kind of order found in a utopian ideal of architectural and social reform. Bu using solid blocks of bright colours, the artist emphahsises his response to the urban world. He takes a pop influence and uses it to create works that are striking and iconic. The buildings are familiar and the style is forthright, but by creating formative balance and harmony of colour Verhoeven's work contains a subtle depth and power. Confident and accomplished, it is little wonder that Verhoeven is one of our thirty best selling artists.

“I am interested in landscape, not as topographical record but as the picture of an idea, particularly a false idea.” says John Workman. Fascinated by landscape paintings which, as he sees, presents an obviously, ‘fake picture of the world’, Workman seeks to explore the romantic paradox of English Landscape throughout its history. “Since the middle of the last century there hasn’t been much English landscape painting” says John Workman, adding, “…It’s true that most of the churches and hills and hedges are still there - you can see them through your windscreen. But the rural life that produced them has been superseded; the appearance remains, but the substance has gone.” Workman began making versions of the Scottish Highland Cattle landscapes that are still reproduced on shortbread biscuit tins. He has subsequently gone on to focus on the romantic Italianate landscapes of the 16 and 17 centuries. John Workman has exhibited across London and America, where he has work in private collections.
