Editor: So, here we have Alan Lowndes’s, The Pawnbroker. The bright colours give it a childlike feel, but something about the road makes me feel a bit uneasy. What catches your eye? Curator: It's a scene imbued with the spirit of daily life, isn't it? I feel a tug of nostalgia, a yearning for simpler times, perhaps a bit romanticized. It's interesting how the colours pop. Does that make you think about the artist's memories? Editor: That makes me think of the stories that each character can tell! Curator: Exactly, and each viewer too. It reminds us that even the everyday is worth noticing!
