It is a bit of an old cliché, but the idea of men going fishing to get away from their wives is one that has caused great mirth for as long as I can remember, and probably a lot longer than that. I imagine Sir Izaak Walton probably deployed the same reasoning when composing the Compleat Angler back in 1653.

Merny has captured the anglers fishing in rather angry looking water really well, and I rather enjoyed the concept when he told me what he was going to paint when I met him just before he started. This is another vibrant and humorous wall from Merny, who has been on fire this summer, perhaps inspired by his exhibition.
