THIS new show at One Oxford, in its increasing prime site opposite the city's copper domed Waterfront Concert Hall, is the first chosen by the gallery's new curator Glenny Whitley, Ross Wilson having moved on to concentrate on his own career and, more specifically, his own sculpture.

It is, Ms Whitley acknowledges, neither a "difficult" nor adventurous show and its style will certainly surprise many of this gallery's regulars. It consists of work by three women artists who have shown previously in the gallery in larger group shows and whose fields are, respectively, flowers in vases, table top still lifes and jolly farmyard animals.

Louisa Jane Leith studied Surface Pattern Design and, indeed, her up front, primary coloured flower in vase studies are mainly the stuff of restaurant decoration. Jackie Crooks works in both oils and watercolours, mainly on richly textured papers, offering us close ups of table tops set for coffee, or tablecloths set for a picnic. Her work, more subtle than that of Leith, is sub fuse and restful.

Most appealing of the three contributions, however, are the vivacious, brightly toned animal (and insect) portraits from Alison McNally, who works as a colour stylist in the textile industry.
