I spent the day today driving down south to first deliver a painting to Fairfields Art Centre in Basingstoke for their September NEW CONTEMPORARIES show and then on to Winchester to pick up two pieces from my Degree Show.
I am now hungry and tired and I should probably spend the evening socialising or making work, but the seven hour trip was WORTH it. If only because the director of the Art Centre said that he liked my piece because it was painting about painting as opposed to a different message taking advantage of an easily accessible. As an avid reader of Turps Banana and a great admirer of Painter’s painters-this swift but uplifting conversation gave me enough self confidence for the next few days.
