SkyArts Portrait Artist of the Week – Noel Fielding

SkyArts Portrait Artist of the Week – Will Young
Is it wrong to hope that lockdown never ends so that @skyarts don’t ever stop running #PAOTW? It’s such great fun!

Gareth gave a real masterclass on portraiture and even attempted to persuade Judge Rinder to hold a useful three-quarter view (without success, to be honest!) Still, Robert had a fascinating, sculptural face which was great …
Maquette of The Crucified Christ
This is a video of a maquette for a potential commission I’ve been working on of ‘The Crucified Christ’. It was inspired by the ‘Visual Perception and the Brain’ course presented by Professor Dale Purves on Coursera.org, which led me to wrestle with the idea of ‘The Inverse Problem as it relates to Optics’.
