Sneak Peak: Andrew Salgado , Warriors 17 Dec - 21 January, "New Year" oil on canvas, Preview 13 Dec

The title of one of Salgado's new works is “Daphnis” who in Greek mythology was a shepherd boy, the son of Hermes and a nymph. Daphnis is also described and shown as an anemones, the embodiment of idealised male youth. As Greek tragedy goes a nymph fell in love with him, and promised to be faithful to him. However, Daphnis was seduced by the daughter of a king, and in revenge, the nymph turned him to stone. Poor chap!

The Andrew Salgado's have arrived. Unpacking the crate, one can smell the newly painted canvasses. This is some of the finest work I have ever seen him paint...Wow...wow...wow!!!
