“…In Young’s works, seediness is built into the canvas, where materials used include wine and glass. His works are also the aftermath of brutal happenings, which involve motorcycle gangs running screaming tyres over the aluminium-backed canvases. Strips of exposed metal glint through layers of dark paint, while serpentine forms, created by the tyres, writhe in the murk. Young’s approach to the canvas is almost territorial; his pieces call to mind areas of the city staked out in skid marks and broken glass…” (Laura Allsop, ‘Substraction’, ArtReview, June 2008)
