Comments on: Doreen Fletcher, Still Standing https://spitalfieldslife.com/2020/11/29/doreen-fletchers-new-exhibition-x/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sun, 06 Dec 2020 09:47:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Neil Aves https://spitalfieldslife.com/2020/11/29/doreen-fletchers-new-exhibition-x/#comment-1359893 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 09:47:23 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=183958#comment-1359893 Such incredible eye for detail, so atmospheric. Could be mistaken for photographs so easily. Absolutely essential that Doreen’s work continues to capture the little things in life and memories of the East End before it all disappears under glass and steel.

I like the accompanying film too. I liked the airport picture and the Red Temple. Hope your exhibition goes well. Best wishes Peta

Thank you for a trip down memory lane …especially Rinkoff’s in Vallance Road and the Red Chapel. Such a fantastic body of work by a talented artist.

I also love the great haircut. Thought you might like to know! Saba

Registers. Like it a lot.

I particularly like the light and shade used in the entrance to Forest Gate Tube Station.
Just wish I was able to come up to my old stopping ground to see the exhibition.

I love seeing these places empty of people. It’s as if the city is taking a long deep breath to reset the new and next day.

Please do more in chiaroscuro, Doreen. Your night scene is evocative and beautiful, a painting that will hang in the Tate one day – and NOT the Tate Modern!

So excited to see that the Town House is holding an exhibition – must try to get down from the provinces …
