A Blast From The Past.
I had to go up into my loft the other day and while I was up there I rummaged for something else I had a feeling must be up there. Even though I knew there had been several of these in 1986, the question was…..was there any left.
The answer was Yes. One.
Here it is a slide of a painting of Steve MacQueen I did in 1986. It is oil on canvas and I poured a load of hot wax onto the canvas while I was painting it and worked into it directly. I dont know why, just a spur of the moment thing to see what would come out. I did actually sell this painting in a solo exhibition I had back then, to an Irish restaraunt owner called Thomas O’conner.
Ever since I started this blog called the Cooler King I remembered I did this painting and thought I must look to see if I have a slide of it. Back then slides were the main tool for showing work.
So here he is The Cooler King.
