"In later paintings, Larwill discovers a looser painting style that echoes early works from the eighties. Here, figures, letters and motifs float upon a white background. Painted after the birth of his first child, the work evokes the hectic life of parenthood and is in keeping with the very personal narratives of the artist's work " - Ken McGregor -
