"By shortening our attention spans to the click of a mouse or the swipe of a finger, pictures are being reduced to a disposable folly," Eley writes on his website. "For some the solution is to shout louder, demanding attention by raising the volume of the message. My approach is different... my paintings speak softly, the labour of my technique demanding you linger, step closer and listen." ROBIN ELEY
