cloudy cider

"you seem to be working with rigour and a clear head"

i'm actually working with flatulance and a cloudy cider.

I think the photoshop looks brill, really unusual construction, if that can become a painting then success is yours. As for ideas on lectures well i suppose how narrative is being confronted in contemporary painting, that way you're dealing with figurative painting so it narrows the field slightly and its something i need to cometo understand so with your giant brain you can help me. also an obvious one but a goody, how the boundaries and stigmafiers of modernism have melted away so that there is now no definition between abstraction and figuration. whole load of artists to choose from here a good one would be daniel richter though, his figures slowly appeared out of a continued study in abstraction. One artist that needs to be looked at when you're talking about contemporary painting is gerhard richter, every painter since has been influenced by him in one way or another, particularly his advocacy of painting anything you want, no boundaries.
