ArtReview examines Lyndon Barrois Jr.’s critique of documentary authority

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Writing in ArtReview, Alexander Harding examines Lyndon Barrois Jr.’s Desert of Promise at Alma Pearl in London. Paintings, collages and sculptural arrangements draw on National Geographic and film references to question the authority of images and systems of classification. Harding finds the work most effective when its material juxtapositions communicate directly, rather than depend on extensive explanation. The exhibition runs through 24 October.
