I'd seen it listed in Time Out, and it looked interesting - an art exhibition produced over a long period of time focusing on China. But it wasn't quite what it seemed from the listing in Time Out.
For a start, it was very small - just one small room in a basement at 22 Eastcastle Street, near Oxford Circus. Secondly, the pictures could have been focusing on anywhere - there was nothing specifically Chinese about them.
That said, however, they were quite distinctive, with rich colours and an amazing attention to detail. They were set in various places, but with a common thread of spiritually - sacred spots in the middle of deserts, forests and shrines where visitors left various items on the trees.
Not an exhibition where you needed a couple of hours to see and appreciate it all, but worth a few minutes of your time just to have a quick look.
Lisa Ross is obviously a skillful painter, but there needed to be more of her work to make it really interesting.
