We had already agreed that an exhibition in manchester would be a great idea, we just needed to suss out the how, when, who, where and what. I was, and still am convinced his abstract work is some of the best around. Its the most difficult to describe but looking at his work its clearly sophisticated. The classic, almost regal, colour palette ties in beautifully with his measured sweeps of contrasting colour. Looking at his work reminds me of when I first saw a Mark Rothko at the Tate. The more you look the more complex you realise it is and the more intelligent the work appears. Of course this sort of stuff doesn't translate onto the web so you need to get down to see the work in person.

The night had a great turnout. We have a loyal group who come to all our previews. Groups of friends come along to the previews have a good look, often buy and then go for a meal and a few drinks in the restaurants nearby. Stefan lives in Vienna so had made a big effort for the show. I had to say a few words to thank him for everything and he went on to describe a bit about the meaning of the exhibition "Irrefutable consequences".
