Gorys skill and mastery of drawing composition and use of colour is without doubt, but personally the abstract designs leave me cold even though I can appreciate their worth.I preferred his earlier figurative work, such as The Artist and His Mother. I also found his pencil work delicate and exquisite. There is a beautiful sculpture of a plough made from wood .
I wanted to connect with the work in this exhibition but just couldnt it almost put me to sleep.
