The Shape of Things to Come II was awarded the US Toyota Woordfees prize for best visual arts exhibition

The new phase introduces out-of-place-objects into painted out-of-place landscapes: sometimes the landscape is completely eliminated to make way for expressions of pure form and colour. This series of works is a celebration rather than a statement of the fact that there is ‘nothing new’ to be made art- wise. Well known artworks titles' are appropriated for the new paintings, giving the exhibition a certain ‘back to school’ flavour.
