Provenance: Exhibited at McPherson Gallery, 2004 In one room is Michael Dell painting still-lifes on linen with delicate precision. His works are no more than a bottle and a couple of boxes. They are arranged with the severe formality of geometric abstraction and their pale colouring emphasises their sculptural quality. The arrangement is scrupulous, with tiny details of hinges on the boxes and little press-stud catches. Delicate, precise, poised - they exactly hit a target at a limited range.
