'... the second exhibition to open at Miro features a new generation of Zilennial artists who are interested in documenting the ordinariness of family life, who seek pleasure in remembering or reimagining the simplicities of an afternoon poorly spent on the sofa with a sibling or an impromptu trip to the coast, and who find painting to be a recuperative gesture to ballast memories against forgetfulness.'
'As Thompson says, “it’s almost a window into another world and so to see all of these works next to each other in the show [together with Sands and Lek], they really are windows into different experiences and personal histories but they all share a common goal in terms of, well, life.” The work of Sands, Lek, and Thompson, to say nothing of Joffe, are not particularly avant-garde. They’re not trying to change the world, but they do change how we see the little worlds in which we live, those little spheres of rooms and streets and sky.' – Matthew Holman
