Nigel Thomson Paintings 1993-1998, Annandale Galleries, Sydney, 1 - 25 July 1998
"Each of his paintings was meticulously planned, built up from small studies and photographs, in time-honoured fashion. Yet the content of Thomson's
work was more challenging than that of any salon avant-gardist. Thomson was not content to merely strike attitudes or signpost his awareness of topical
issues, he aimed to short circuit the comfortable relationship between art and life, to jolt the viewer out of his or her complacency by providing an image
that was realistic enough to command instant recognition, but disturbing in its deeper implications." - JOHN McDONALD
