"The
work of John Selway comes as something of a shock. There is horror
hidden by beauty and beauty hidden by horror. It is always surprising
and frequently deeply disturbing - and that is just the subject matter.
What distinguishes this artist as major and significant is the marriage
of form with content in a seamless visual language. Experience, sensibility
and knowledge combine with sureness of technique in a unique way to
produce work that jars us through its unforgettable imagery, its uncompromisingly
bleak but haunting beauty."
