From the press release:
Reflecting Allen's taste for highly articulate painting, the selected artists, Mark Joyce, Iain Nicholls and William Gharraie all employ, in varying degrees, the transformative potential of paint. These painter's painters remain vigilant in their individual investigations revealing fresh and often witty approaches that, brought together, examine the heavy syntax of abstraction.
