Tied to the 90s and really wishing there was a better 90s song to have lifted that line from.

Pretty much the same dodgy patter here as in the Other Place.

That's the one bit of the story that annoys me - they just gave some random who owns the building planning permission, they didn't commission this dross, but you wouldn't get that from the headline.

18. Salmon Nets and the Sea by Joan Eardley.
A painting by Joan Eardley entitled "Salmon Nets and the Sea". It shows an impressionistic, almost abstract view of nets hanging out to dry on the shore from posts while a rough grey sea breaks on the shore. The sky is a deep petroleum blue and the sand a rust red. There is a sense of the force of the sea breaking on the shore.

13. The Orange Blind - Francis Cadell
A painting in oils by Francis Cadell. Entitled The Orange Blind, the picture shows a view from an opulently decorated house in the early 20th century. A woman sits in the foreground on a turquoise chaise longue with a silver tea service in front of her. She is pale, wering dark clothes including a wide-brimmed hat and what looks like a fur coat. A man sits with is back to her in the room beyond. He's working(?) at a desk. The room is dominated by a chandelier taking up half the space between the tall ceiling and the floor. Even more striking though, is the window blind which is a luminous orange, surrounded by the darkness of the walls around it.

The Chalk Cutting - Arthur Melville
Large oil painting by Arthur Melville. It shows a chalk quarry from a starightforward perspective, but manages to make it seem like an abstract image. The overwheling tones are white and grey and it's only by looking closely that the shapes of industry become clear.
