These are the results of another great printmaking workshop with @lindadavies_ . Hugely enjoyable as always, and learnt loads!
They are another attempt at reworking the original life drawing that was used as the basis for the painting, ‘The Space Between Us’ that was submitted to the AAAC exhibition.

This is the painting that didn’t make it to the AAAC judging. It’s loosely based on an early life drawing sketch, together with some of the folded paper maquette sculptures I’m trying to incorporate into my art practice. I’m not sure what to call it. It’s supposed to be a 2D colour sculpture, or an ‘Invented Figure in Invented Space’, to appropriate one of David Hockney’s concepts. Technically, it should be called ‘Untitled II’, since that’s what it was on the entry form! Let me know if you have any (printable!) suggestions for a title in the comments!
(Oil on canvas 100cm x 70cm)
Un-submitted AAAC Painting Read More »
Wow, that was hard going! We had to submit the application form for the AAAC (Association of Anglesey Arts Clubs) Biennial Exhibition back on the 1st November, but I didn’t have any previously unexhibited work available, so I filled my entry form in with 8 pieces called ‘Untitled I’ to ‘Untitled VIII’! Original, huh?! Since then, I’ve been trying to generate those 8 pieces, all whilst wrestling with my first dose of ‘artist’s block’. Grim… I managed 5 pieces in total (including only finishing the charcoal nude at midnight on Sunday) but couldn’t get 1 piece framed in time to submit yesterday, so the attached pictures are the 4 that made into the selection process. Fingers crossed they get in!
1. Charcoal on paper 80cm x 60cm
2. Monotype on paper 42cm x 30cm
3. Dry point etching on paper 30cm x 30cm
4. Oil on linen 100cm x 80cm (this isn’t the finished state of the painting, as I forgot to photograph it before submitting…)
