Coming soon…I’m really looking forward to show

Here’s a new painting, the first one in a while.

Here’s a new painting, the first one in a while. It’s called Stretch and is inspired by the outpouring of words and the flooding fleshy desire of James Joyce’s Molly Bloom. 30x30cm gloss on wood.

Today’s image from the Yoolysees show is by Ruddy Cheek’s Angela Smith. We were each given a sentence from Molly’s soliloquy to respond to and Angela’s is full to the brim with sensuality and sexuality. She looked to reflect this passion in red, hot pink and scarlet poured paint, that oozes, coils and dances as it falls. Echoing the outpouring of Molly’s words in her stream of consciousness and her ability to let go. Bold strong colours bleed, repel and collide creating unpredictable and unexpected reactions. As forms develop, Angela teases them out to hint at Molly’s flooding fleshy desire, her sexual confidence and femininity.

Come and see the delicacy of this painting and hear how Angela creates them in our Artist Talks on Saturday 25th June 3-5pm. Fellow Ruddy Cheek artists Claire Shoosmith and Elizabeth Doak will also talk about their work together with many other artists in the show. All welcome.

Come and join us tonight for the PV of Yoolysees at Electro Studios, St Leonards on Sea - all welcome! There are over 30 artists taking part including the artist collective Ruddy Cheek of which I’m proud to be a member. We have each responded in our own way to a sentence taken from the soliloquy of Molly Bloom, the first literary feminist. My sentence is full to the brim with sensuality and sexuality. I’m showing six paintings including this pairing Lust in the full glare of evening sun accompanied by Sliver.
Thank you to @lucybrennanshielart for her inspiration and curation.

Phew, I’m so relieved to have got this piece to London and handed in for the final round at the RA. Didn’t share the news of its shortlisting in case I had a mishap on the way! It needs to be upright so the paint doesn’t spill out, but can’t rest on a horizontal surface as the bulge of paint is lower than its support. I really hope it makes the final cut but if it doesn’t at least there’s the silver lining that I can now make travel frames with my new woodwork skills 🤪

Here’s a new little form made up of all paint peeled from the inside of a funnel. Made from paint that’s poured through a plastic funnel with no thought as to how it will appear when it’s innards are revealed. Occasionally I get a little treat like this one for day 26 of30works30days
