Probably my best ever photo
22nd November. Taken a few days ago and since it’s attracted a certain amount of attention on social media, I’m posting it here for the sake of provenance. This is a footpath locally running alongside a bypass but you’d never know it from this view. There is deeply mulched ground on either side that fills … Continue reading Probably my best ever photo
Repainting the painting of the unpaintable
I decided I’d finished this yesterday, but really I knew I hadn’t. It grew out of one palette, drew on another, then morphed into a theme that needed the first. And I’d rushed the video. So I began picking away at it, finding the story, bringing out the face of the figure in the water … Continue reading Repainting the painting of the unpaintable
HM Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022
Scroll down for details. Her father was King till I was four. We had no TV so there were very few images of him for any of us to remember. Then this very young woman came to the throne and our school sat us on a grass verge with flags to wave as a large … Continue reading HM Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022
Painting the unpaintable because it’s already exquisite
Well, to learn you have to challenge yourself and, after sitting in front of a screen for what feels like months (about four days!) getting to grips with Adobe Aero and After Effects, I absolutely had to paint something. Generally, I like a large space with lots of room for arm waving, but I chose … Continue reading Painting the unpaintable because it’s already exquisite
Welcome to London; twinned with Arrakis since 2042
When you wake up to find you’ve told Alexa to remind you about ‘painting spreadsheets’, normally, you’d ask yourself what cheese you’d been eating last night. This time it was nothing so alimentary; it had dawned on me, connecting with something a tutor had said a while back about everything being ‘rather flat’, that I’ve … Continue reading Welcome to London; twinned with Arrakis since 2042
Exhibition in the wild – Artivive in an underpass
Originally posted on Exploring Media:
In the language of science, this is a ‘proof of concept’ trial whereby I’m testing the viability of linking graffiti in the underpass of the local bypass to paintings with their own embedded video activate via the Artivive app. My first attempt dropped a sci fi horror from the underside… Continue reading Exhibition in the wild – Artivive in an underpass
I blame OCA …
Time was, you could take a radiator off a wall and someone would come to fill the holes then slap an approximate match of the 30 year old paint onto the gap. But when you’ve spent the best part of four years up to the elbows in every possible kind of media, you’re probably not … Continue reading I blame OCA …
What wasn’t on the art trail
There are things you can take and things you can’t, and it depends on the location and the nature of the event. An art trail is not an exhibition, it is essentially a market, and so what goes on display has to suit the kinds of people who might be coming and hopefully be in … Continue reading What wasn’t on the art trail
Khushbu
These are the videos we have displayed on the side of your building during the Steyning Arts trail this summer. I hope you had time to take a look while they were there via the Artivive app. Thank you, Khushbu! Continue reading Khushbu
Physical and digital art – a trail and the side of a house
Originally posted on Exploring Media:
You could probably describe Steyning in west Sussex as a relatively affluent middle class market town. It has a history as a port in the 8th/11th century until the mouth of the Adur at Shoreham silted up and left it stranded. Before that it was a key player in the… Continue reading Physical and digital art – a trail and the side of a house
