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.

Painting workshop feedback.

I just wanted to thank everyone that attended the workshops on Tuesday and Wednesday. My ambition was for a re-newed excitement for painting. I certainly went away with this. I think it would have been useful to explore supports for painting and various priming methods in more detail. In the meantime The John Jones web site is worth looking at for this information. I have added this information under art suppliers. Please make any suggestions that you may have for how this type of workshop can be improved, I would be very grateful for your feedback.  Please find some of the initial painting experiments made on Tuesday. I look forward to seeing how the work progresses on my next visit in a few weeks time.  Sarah

Material matters.

Thank-you to every one that attended my talk on Tuesday, and for all the questions. It's interesting that although I stood up and talked for sometime in the lecture theatre It often takes me some time and courage to ask questions. If you do want anything clarified please feel free to ask me, either here in the comments section or by email. All feedback is also useful, it was the first time I had used media clips in a presentation. I hope they added some clarity to the talk, what do you think?  I would be delighted to know.I have attempted to give references to all the artists and information covered but again if you can't find the information you need  in 'Painting matters' let me know.
