The title of Jack Milroy's latest exhibition, In(ter)ventions, is a carefully poised hint at the nature and the spirit of his work. It is at once a playful and often humorous path that he treads, but also one of true discovery - of the uncovering and constructing of entirely new perspectives and interpretations of the existing imagery that is his vocabulary.

Employing techniques and materials both old and new, he creates three-dimensional tableaux with intriguing and often ambiguous narratives. One of the major works - Ophelia II draws upon several aesthetic interpretations of the Shakespearean tale, from dark pseudo-gothic etchings to the palette of the Pre-Raphaelite painter John Millais' famous oil on canvas.

The combination of Milroy as collector and re-inventor results in complex, charged, beautiful imagery - and extraordinary works of art that reveal themselves at a glimpse, then by one layer at a time.
