Thank you @julie_caves for visiting me in the stud Thank you @julie_caves for visiting me in the studio this morning. Great to talk about what we want the paintings we make to do and achieve. Thanks for helping me with methods to focus on what I want particular artworks to do when there are so many directions a painting can evolve towards. #thanetartists #kentartists #studiovisit #artprocess
Delighted to announce FIGURINGS OF THE REAL - an e Delighted to announce FIGURINGS OF THE REAL - an exhibition of work featuring Andrew McDonald @andjmcdonald Thomasina Smith @thomasina.smith and myself @mswiftyart The work I’m contributing to this exhibition at Safehouse 1, Peckham @maverickprojects is inspired by airbases and ancient forests of Suffolk. A residency @asylumstudiosuk supported the development of ideas and processes to make work for Figurings of the Real. Walking through these landscapes helped me explore themes around hyper-sensitivity, masculinity and possibilities of latent spirituality. #masculinityinart #hairyart #spiritualart #collageexperiments
Brilliant to be part of @unprimed_collective . I’l Brilliant to be part of @unprimed_collective . I’ll be exhibiting ‘Floral Interception’ in the collective’s new show ‘Silent Owl’. Repost from @unprimed_collective • 📣 Show announcement! 𝑺𝑰𝑳𝑬𝑵𝑻 𝑶𝑾𝑳 Our sixth show as a collective, bringing together 33 artists for an exhibition inspired by the silent hunters of the night. Long associated with uneasy insights, the owl with its night vision and extraordinary hearing has been a companion of Minerva, the goddess of wisdom. Their otherworldly abilities have created a mythology that they are predictors of what is to come, or possible harbingers of doom. What better time to open to show than Halloween? Save the date! 𝑺𝑰𝑳𝑬𝑵𝑻 𝑶𝑾𝑳 🗓️ 30th Oct - 1st Nov 📍 Downstairs, The Department Store, 248 Ferndale Road, London SW9 8FR 🥂 Private View Oct 31st, 2–6PM Come along, say hello, meet the artists and see what we’ve been making. We’d love to see you there! 🦉 @turpsbanana @turps_mass_showreel @turpsoffsiteprogramme @dn_brixton
