If you need some cheering up, what with all the swine flu and crashing markets, drop by Galerie Division and check out the exhibition New Logic by Barry Allikas. Inspired by the Plasticiens, Allikas breathes new life into the form of hard-edged abstraction with his series of large-format paintings of unashamedly luminous colour. Occasionally skirting figuration, the artist excels at creating fluid, dynamic compositions which beautifully balance tension and harmony. Especially the large pieces have an up-lifting presence. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
