Di Fenwick's work was courageously autobiographical. While the idea of questioning the nature of memory and truth is not new, the honesty and lack of pretension or didacticism, together with impressive technical skill made for an impressive body of work. The large, well framed, realism charcoal drawings exhibited in the gallery, read almost like a series of film stills. Yet each work however, representing a different memory, or take on the same incident, or situation, was fully resolved on its own terms. A very pleasing dimension of this work is a validation in the School's belief in drawing, not only as a tool but also as an important medium in its own right.

The other painter was John Hart. His starting point was an especially human interest in sex - that is to say in eroticism. However, while the genesis may have been common enough - digitised images take form the internet - the final works show as much interest in formal beauty than anything else. While traces of each works bitmapped origin is still apparent in these large immaculately painted works, the figures that emerge are fresh and convincing. The formal design of strong forms and rich colours - greens, reds, browns and greys - manage to leace each work sensuous and evocative.

They all are committed to begin sustained careers. We expect them to go away and make a mark - and then we hope that they will return to us.
