Art World Friezing over???

Bloomberg reports that the London art market has fallen 80% in a year and that Sotheby’s and Christie’s sales alongside this year’s Frieze fair will collapse from £107 million to nearer £20 million. In the current climate people are not spending or looking for better value for money which means the Affordable Art Fair will [...]

Hill of money – mountains of cash

It has come to my attention that the Arts Council of England. A glorious body of noble souls are at this time perusing some submissions for a large wad of cash – 12 X £5000,000 – for specific art projects related to the glorious Olympiad of 2012. Now I thought that every hair-brained, stupid artistic nonsense [...]

getting back on track: latest project in progress

LATEST PROJECT: track Using images of ‘migrant’ plant life found along a disused railway line in Oxfordshire over which I am superimposing sets of three words which reflect on not only the migrant plant histories but also reflect wider current concerns with displacement, nationality and sense of place. The Didcot to Newbury and Southampton railway line [...]

Moogee at Goldfactory: July 2008..Woofism

Moogee the art dog has been savaging the pretentious, the idiotic and all the other manifestations of the I.A.W. (International Art World) for a few years now. This was Moogee’s first trip out of the kennel at the now defunct Egerton Studio in what was once the largest artists studios complex outside London. More of [...]

Suit of Nettles : Lincoln Collection 2008

12 paintings each related to a song on the album ‘Suit of Nettles’ (hear below). Drawing on American South Folk Art and contemporary ‘Modern Folk’ artists like Daniel Johnston and Margaret Kilgallen. As the Professor from Derby said ” this is not naive art..this is knowingly done” ..it takes a lot of knowledge to paint [...]

Photo-text

A series of low resolution images  from  South Oxfordshire which were then added to with texts. These were the first experiments in mixing text and photographs and the first time I explored the ‘hinterland’ between ‘artwork and poetry’ which are two key cornerstones of my artistic practice. The one word additions are not illustrative but explore [...]

Thinking whilst making things – a challenge – beyond the crisis in art

I have long been a fan of the Sharkforum and resident artist/critic Mark Staff Brandl’s take on the present state of art criticism. This is by way of a practice run to ’scope’ the afore mentioned ‘art criticism now?’ agenda I love that word ’scope’ you’d think we were shooting bears..maybe we are…certainly foxes… His latest project [...]

Academic Artist? Oxymoron?

There was a time when the phrase ‘academic artist’ was synomonous with a certain conservatism and use of traditional strophes that reflected the academic virtues of fine handling of paint, drawing of a certain standard and a certain ‘resemblance’ to the world of the viewer who would recognise the metaphors and the world that produced [...]

Is traditional publishing dead? Next Wave..

Basically the incoming changes are going to revolutionise the whole concept in a way that the music industry still trying to cope with….see Independent article on music downloading which reveals that illegal filesharers spend more on music thus any [...]

Here I explain why and deliver a more considered version of basically the same material which less likely to offend the great and the good of this noble art city. The post was a hasty response to seeing [...]

Today I finished adding my entire catalogue to this website. Through an industrious mix and mash of elements from wordpress, ning and twitter I have a fully functional always on player driven catalogue that I can never charge for.. so what’s the point?
