Hello - I hope this note finds you well and managing ok in these so very strange times.
These are The Peter Swann Paintings.
I don't see any good sense in trying to formulate an explanation or rationale for the show, the content of the paintings or any lack thereof - painting is something of a compulsion, it's personal and sometimes it's a good idea to get it out of the studio.
The work doesn't have a particularly high purpose - it is a self-absorbed activity - but like a lot of crafters I do try to make things that 'work' - maybe when it does work it does so as ornamentation, in my head anyway.
The work is possibly about, 'identity and memory', but I think that might be me coming up with a good idea after everything is done and dusted.
A thank you to Fane Flaws for the show’s title and many kind words - naming can be a slippery business sometimes. All the work is from 2018 – an earlier show was delayed.
If you can, come see the paintings, thanks and best wishes. Cheers, Greg
