I am a fan of David Irvine’s “upcycled” thrift store paintings. I find them lighthearted, clever and a bit of a relief from art world pomposity.

Christians can be justly proud that Irvine is safe to lampoon a nativity scene. It is a compliment to tolerance that cannot be extended to some religious sects.

In the great tradition of church art carrying a message, Pony proprietor Andrew Horne alerts us to a new show. We should all go because, as David Irvine says, “Art is very serious!”
