“I know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its ways in that particular spot; and this is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even…”

“I only know that I do what I can to convey what I experience before nature and that most often, in order to succeed in conveying what I feel, I totally forget the most elementary rules of painting, if they exist that is.”

'Painting bites back.' Rothko & the Seagram series.

'Painting bites back.' Rothko & the Seagram series.:

Article from 2002, but still interesting.

Interesting that in the Tate setting I see them filled with depth & lucidity, quite differently to the opulent Seagram especially at that point in time.

Perhaps they hold a mirror up to us, & we see ourselves in them.

“it possesses duende: “black sounds”, as Lorca called them, the dark counterpoise to Apollo’s light, music in which we hear death sing…. Duende lives in blue notes, in the break in a singer’s voice, in the scrape of resined horsehair hitting sheep gut”

“The power of a painting has to come from the inside out, not the outside in. It’s not just an image. It’s an image with a body and that body has to contain its spirit…What’s behind it decides everything. How it starts will define how it ends.”

Speaker at AIR Artists AIRTIME Networking event for Whitstable Biennale 2012.

Wed, 12 Sep 2012 21:50:00 +0100

Speaker at AIR Artists AIRTIME Networking event for Whitstable Biennale 2012.:

Today’s AIRTIME Networking Event went well, we ( 6 or 7 artists/arts organisations ) had two hours, with 20 minutes to speak to about 6 artists at each of our tables, as they rotated around the room.

It was great speaking about my work and being able to mentor artists and help point some of them in the right direction. I introduced a lot of them to twitter, and a lot of the information I was able to pass on had come from arts organisations who I follow there, aswell as various blogs, among other things.

Thanks to AIR Artists for inviting me to contribute, & thanks to Susan Jones of a-n Arts News for suggesting me. I would highly recommend an AIRTIME event if there is one near you, but you do need to be an AIR member to attend ( although at £37 per year for joint membership of AIR and a-n The Artists Information Company, which automatically gives you £5million Public Liability Insurance, it’s well worth it for any arts professional. )
