Description:
From Saatchi Gallery, Loan of Art, pp.382– “Weismann’s canvases are teeming with all sorts of life. It’s as if he has taken the whole world, given it a shake and seen what has fallen off. Weismann draws on global architecture, from shanty towns to pub interiors, and peoples them with unlikely groupings. In Borderland, for example, a boy scout, an Indian guru and a trio of businessmen appear together at a Japanese-cum-American hunting lodge”.
