Harvey Galleries cordially invite you and your guest to join us and John McIntosh to unveil his latest exhibition.
The exhibition derives its name from Douglas Adams classic book. The creation of an improbable world which made real the bizaar, was a search for meaning in a world where nothing we could invent is likely to rival the bizaar-ness of our ‘real’ world, I like the adventure of discovering what emerges out of the canvas, ‘to paint carefully that which doesn’t exist’, I wish to hand you the viewer a paradox, to show you real-ness and also deny it at the same time. John McIntosh.
