An artist's artist, Regina Granne's career spanned fifty-years - the breadth, depth and mastery of which can be seen in this exhibition. The work's importance is self-evident;Granne's paintings travel on a path of development that is inexorable, give her intelligence and strength of perception as a visual artist. The show must be seen, thought about and, above all, contemplated. It is not one-take art, but rather the work of a master, honing her craft over time, observing the world and rendiering it for our reflection.
