Description:	'Grounded in the tangible world, Vangelis Pliarides paints using the colours of the sea. The murky blue-greens of "Morning Dive" are those of the silent ocean bed, but this calm is disrupted by repeated images of French kissing. As an ex-diver and marine he combines his personal experience with an unsettling exploration of the disturbing aspects of human nature.'
