Sam Cornish visits the London studio of painter Albert Irvin.

Cornish notes that "Instead of describing objects (even abstract objects) the elements of [Irvin's] paintings often suggest, to me at any rate, an arrival or a bringing to attention… There is perhaps something theatrical about the way in which Irvin's marks address the viewer, their sheer drama, and the way in which the force of their making carries over into a suggestion that they have been created or revealed just as we look at them, and perhaps specifically for us."
