I do believe Gillian Carnegie is showing off her (his?) chops in the first painting... actually purposely demonstrating that she has skill. The second work shown by her is much more impressionist, but very powerful... I like it.

I'm mystified by Starling... is it just a political statement about fuel-efficient transportation? How is a bicycle art? How is a wood shed art, for that matter?

I'm sure I'd have to be there to appreciate Lambie...

I think the first work by Gillian (a woman) is a sculpture, not a painting. But that same textural quality is in the second painting. But what's the meaning? An ironic commentary on expressionism of the past? Postmodernism has to die some time soon (at least I hope so).

How is a wood shed art?

Well, Robert Smithson half-buried a woodshed once. This "sculpture" had to do with decay, decomposition, man's objects returning to the earth. This was not a great piece as was his Spiral Jetty, but it still has more meaning that the Turner shed, which didn't even have a fine visual appearance (as in architecture).
