Lips & Bananas

Although there was a certain amount of material on the old website that didn't need to be there anymore, there were also some features that one doesn't want to lose. And although this new blog ought to be a fresh start, you might find the occasional item being carried forward.

One such thing is my painting Lips & Bananas (2007), gouache and marker pen on canvas. With its modernist echoes of Man Ray and Andy Warhol and a spilling energy all of its own, it adorns the wall of my front room while still being officially available for £10 000. But please buy it soon because the paint is beginning to peel off and I'm glad it was photographed before any restoration was required.

I never said I was a painter but, perhaps in the same way that it is said that we all have one novel in us, I apparently had one painting in me. I'm glad I got it out.
