Slow week on this 👆 as started some other paintings but rediscovered Gerard Richter's book - daily practice of painting, which is dead good to dip into if a) you like GR b) you like reading writing about a bloke reading and writing about painting c)
Green T This week I've mostly been working on a large scale painting (large for me, central panel 5ftsq). Started out with a nod to Joseph Kosuth's playfully conceptual one in 3 series. And so here visual and textual possibilities play out - green te
