Lost World of Innocence

Today the Lazarides Gallery in London opened the first solo show by young Brit. artist Miranda Donovan: Lost World of Innocence, which continues until 30 May. The OTT blurb compares her to everyone from Jacob van Ruisdael to Banksy, but she doesn't cut it for me. This isn't urban art; it's boring old graffiti for indoors hanging. Banksy has a style, a vision, an attitude, a voice, a political stance. This is just gang-tagging for middle class twerps who fancy a bit of rough on their wall.
