Description:
'David Spero's photographs adopt the crisp, clear look of commercial photography. His series of Seascapes, Landscapes and Interiors seem to describe a journey, or perhaps a holiday from the point of departure at the airport to arrival at a sunny resort. Yet largely unpeopled these images do not suggest relaxation or enjoyment. The possibility of emotion or passion is suppressed, the images become formal exercises in composition and colour derived from the bright, saturating light.'
