This work was exhibited at Ferner Galleries, Ian Scott Retrospective, 2003. The following is an excerpt from Art Critic Warwick Brown's review in NZ Art Monthly, April 2003.

Other works in the Ferner exhibition juxtaposed clever, slightly enlarged copies of landscape paintings from the Kelliher Prize era with screenprinted images of artists. Two schools were represented McCahon for the modernists and Badcock for the traditionalists. I liked Scott's use of the DB beer logo in some of these (Kelliher = beer = DB = Douglas Badcock). Another subtlety here is that Scott is not mocking the Kelliher paintings. He won a Kelliher prize as a young man, loves landscapes and owns several works by Kelliher's favourite Ernest Buckmaster, an artist whose skill Scott greatly admires.

The key to the success of these particular paintings is control of colour harmony and balance across the works. They are also more open than some of the others to viewers' personal responses.

Born in 1945, Ian Scott and his painting career is in its fifth decade. He is a major New Zealand artist of the Post-McCahon generation who has remained innovative and relentlessly experimental throughout his career.
