    Blaise Drummond's paintings combine abstraction with meticulously-painted realism. Here, a woman pulls a trolley of multi-coloured slabs within an unidentifiable place. Intriguingly, no clue is given to unravel the relationship between the figurative image, abstract background, and the words of the title.
