Forthcoming Exhibition July 2018
I am very excited about a forthcoming exhibition I am taking part in, at a music festival in the Devon countryside at the end of July. It is called KOZFEST and, from what I've heard, is a lot like the old festivals that happened in England throughout the 1970's and 80's. Of course, festivals have never been more widespread and popular than they are now. They are happening every weekend up and down the land and are attracting enormous numbers of people. However, compared to the old festivals, they are shit! Heavily commercialised and dominated by big business they are a long, long way removed from the anarchic hedonism that made gatherings lik
A Tale of Two Art Shops
Where I live, in Salisbury, UK, we were blessed with the most wonderful shop selling art materials, the Complete Artist. It had been open as long as I could remember, and occupied a picturesque building next to a river in one of the more attractive parts of town. When I started at Art College in 1980 as an eager young student I bought all my supplies there, and then continued as a loyal customer over the intervening years. I struck up a great relationship with Martin, the owner, and it was easy to think that nothing would ever change, that Martin and the Complete Artist would last for ever.

The Paul Klee exhibition
Something I've always tried to do is visit as many art exhibitions as I can. Whether local artists in the town library, or big, internationally important, exhibitions in London or other major cities, the more I can see the better! Since the Giorgio De Chirico show at the Tate Gallery in 1983, I've managed to attend some great ones; El Greco at the National Gallery, David Hockney at the Royal Academy, The Group of Seven at the Dulwich Picture Gallery. In 2002 it was Paul Klee at the Hayward Gallery on London's Southbank, and yesterday, 11 years later, a second Paul Klee exhibition, this time at Tate Modern.
I suppose I'm a bit unrealistic hop
The Salisbury Art Trail
Applications have to be in by the end of May to be a part of the Salisbury Art Trail, a 10 day event of Open Studios, Galleries and exhibitions in Salisbury and surrounding area. The trail is held every 2 years and every time it happens I'm undecided whether to get involved. On the one hand, it's a chance to welcome the public into my studio at the end of the garden, show my work and, who knows, maybe sell one or two! On the other, I can imagine it being a terrible nuisance, with multitudes of visitors tramping up and down the garden path, I could just imagine getting well cheesed off with it after a couple of days! Ultimately my studio is a
