If only they were smaller, Piñera Ballo’s paintings would be a great hit in the shopping centre gallery your ex-army uncle just opened in Surrey. He’s gambling with the family’s savings, you condescend, but so is Pace with their show. The market for “young” artists is crashing. Who in London, precisely, would buy 6-meter-wide Cuban beach souvenirs? Surrey, at least, knows its own taste.

★★☆☆☆
This exhibition cannot decide if it’s a tourist attraction or a serious examination of sculpture’s relationship with movement.

The shadow of tomorrow draws an ancient silhouette
★★★☆☆
Auer is more interested in the fate of painting than humanity and thus stands apart from the army of zealots who make eco art today.
