james newton adams
'[James Newton Adam's] simplified forms and aerial perspective give a dream-like quality to the work, evocative of childhood memory. Dominant greys, white and black give a stark, quintessentially Northern feel to his images. There is playfulness and melancholy in equal measure in Adams’s work, child-like simplicity combined with adult consciousness in his fluid and adept handling of materials.'
