Ben Goss, Music has the Right to Children, 2007.
Oil, acrylic & shellac on linen, 61.5 x 61 .5.


MaunsellWickes at Barry Stern [across the road from the other galleries at this end of Glenmore Road] is hosted by very generous men who offer clearly distressed visitors glasses of mineral water and anecdotes about pasta dishes in Venice. It’s very refreshing. It’s the final days of Ben Goss’s show and it looks like just about everything has been sold. We like the fact Goss doesn’t seem too concerned with filling up the canvas with paint, and the loose gestural drawing-like quality of the paintings, but the surfaces are too bright and shiny for our tastes. Any doubts are dispelled when we discover that one painting is called ‘Music has the right to children.’ If you get the reference you quickly realise that Goss is a man of taste and wealth, alright.
