Dirty work...



 I love all of these images, the two coloured ones were taken in artists studios, both are from group exhibition catalogue covers in the 1980s. The top image is Gillian Aryes and the bottom Frank Auerbach with his painting 'Vincent Terrace 1982-84' the title reveals that this painting took him two years to complete. You can almost smell the really oily dank paint and the turpentine its fabulous that the blistered paint work on the walls echo the painting.  Someone said they hated oil paint....(as they were trying to wash it off under the tap!) if you don't know how to clean it up it can be a nightmare. I love oil paint but only my own so I will be posting up some cleaning tips how very exciting!. The black and white image is of a performance by Janine Antoni 'Loving care', I think it's a great painting.
