"The star of the show is undoubtedly Graham Holland's digitally manipulated photomontages. In his world, the city isn't dark and brooding but light, buzzing and congested. He manages to capture both the optimism and the frustration of living in a metropolis where dreams can either be realised or crushed in an instant. He's an artist to watch for the future"
Grant Gibson - Editor of Blueprint
