Summary: a rose by another name
Review: larwills stamina inreases with age, for a diminutive adult he bears the brunt of the hurricane of urban life. his pictorial sensibility remains intact despite many years of hard living that would maim an ordinairy man.his ouvre expresses a journey that permeates to places and lovers.his gentleness with figurative and abstract elements cringe from conventional technique though express a gentleness and expressivness parallaled in the light and feeling of a cottage rose garden.the colours and gesture express this certain type of freindliness and maternal manginess felt in the bones of young country squires.the book fills in much about the life of the man and to some small extent the varsity of the expressionist journey.there has always been an element to david of man and his dog viewing the superfluace nature of urban life,im getting lost here but a big part of david is the text and vibe of family and friends.the photographs interspersed in mcgregors text give revalation to this,how much further it goes im not sure,hanging out with larwill can be a vociferous experience, an unhinging,a dispersing and a comming together, and it is these moments that form a balanced surface tension in daves work.at last hes counting the money,though for all the entertainment hes produced and helped orchestrate theres none more deserving to do so.
