Part two…
During the first phase of Lockdown Richard Guest and I made a few virtual gallery visits – here is our equally virtual conversation that followed…continued from part one
Richard:
Yes, the Bosch site is incredible – very nice to get lost in there! It helps that the paintings are so sensuous and strange. And refreshing that there are no price tags.
OK according to Artsy this is what sold at Frieze (which has introduced price transparency with this online fare). The list includes works by Yinka Shonibare, Ghanaian sculptor El Anatsui (whose work sold for $1.5m), Leon Kossof ($1.8m), Miquel Barceló ($210K), Damian Loeb ($180K), Suzan Frecon ($400K), Wolfgang Tillmans ($220K), and George Condo (who seems to be getting a lot of attention at the moment, $2m kerching!). I wonder who they sold to – perhaps some of the billionaires…

During the first phase of Lockdown Richard Guest and I made a few virtual gallery visits – here is our equally virtual conversation that followed…
David Locked down and desperate for art – the art world’s response to the emptying of galleries has been to try to tempt us to a new gallery experience online. we have decided to visit three ‘online viewing rooms’ to try to get our art fix:
The Frieze New York Viewing Room
https://frieze.com/fairs/frieze-viewing-room
Rodney Graham at the Lisson Gallery:

Hauser & Wirth Menorca in VR
https://www.vip-hauserwirth.com/hauser-wirth-menorca-in-vr/
I managed to visit all three sites, but I’m not really sure what I saw. It looked like art, but it didn’t feel like art. It was really very odd. It was a very different kind of art experience: on one hand, it was just like visiting any website, but on the other…

Mutie #1, 2015 C Type Print
December’s Print of the Month is now available to buy here.
Mutie #1, is one of my earliest attempts to use improvised brushstrokes in a digital image. I began by painting in acrylic on paper, which was scanned into Photoshop and edited. The photographic elements come from street shots I took in London in 2015. I’ve chosen now to put the print on sale because I’m currently re-exploring this way of working.
Part three of a conversation about Jasper Johns with David Cook
Jasper Johns: ‘Fools House’ (1961-2)
A couple of months ago Richard Guest and I visited the Jasper Johns exhibition ‘Something Resembling Truth’ at the Royal Academy in London. Then we exchanged emails about it, and this is the result.
* * * *
Richard:
Those are great quotations; I think he’s being honest, and they explain the work’s strength and its durability – the paintings have no fixed meaning and Johns never sought to impose one. I like the idea that the artist paints, writes, draws, records etc in the way they are able, because they have to (get something out there).
Yes, I think the key to the work’s appeal is its sensual quality – the images are seductive, in part because of their texture, because the hand of the artist is visible. And the tension between the concept and Johns’ intuitive delivery…

The second part of a conversation with David Cook about Jasper Johns…
Jasper Johns ‘Flag’ (1958)
A couple of months ago Richard Guest and I visited the Jasper Johns exhibition ‘Something Resembling Truth’ at the Royal Academy in London. Then we exchanged emails about it, and this is the result.
* * * *
Richard:
I think the subjects are very specifically chosen – they have deep roots in the Western psyche – a target is for shooting at, so we think about the implications of that image; numbers underpin our lives and shadow our activities in all sorts of ways (data, economics etc), maps and flags signal ownership of land. These objects are all so much a part of everyday existence for so many people that they are taken for granted, but they hold fundamental meaning – road signs, logos, labels are ephemeral by comparison. So, I wonder whether Johns used the maps, flags, numbers…

Jasper Johns: ‘Target‘, 1961
A couple of months ago Richard Guest and I visited the Jasper Johns exhibition ‘Something Resembling Truth’ at the Royal Academy in London. Then we exchanged emails about it, and this is the result.
* * * *
David:
When we arranged to visit this show, I confess that I was doing it out of a sense of duty rather than because I thought I would enjoy it. It was a show that I thought I ought to see: a definitive survey of a major artist. Johns is an iconic presence in the art of the last hundred years; but I thought his work was a bit dry, a bit ‘correct’ and he was not necessarily among my favorites. I certainly didn’t have that sense of rock star excitement I had when I was going to see Jackson Pollock, Picasso or Kiefer. I…

…Time flies…David Bradley was brilliant as William Hartnell (in 2013! See below), and he’s back as the first Doctor in the 2017 Doctor Who Xmas special…This one’s for Richard Cooper-Knight…
Street Portrait (for and of David Bradley) #1, 2013
Today, I went out with the express intention of shooting some portraits. There was a chill in the air, so most people were bundled up in scarves, hats, thick coats. So, all but invisible; I was just giving up hope of taking any shots at all when I spotted a very dapper gentleman crossing the street. I tailed him for a bit and then asked him if I could take his portrait. It was only when I asked his name that I realised who he was.
Street Portrait (for and of David Bradley) #2, 2013
You might know David Bradley as Argus Filch from the Harry Potter films (2001-11), or as Walder Frey in Game of Thrones (2011 and 2013), or perhaps King Lear at the Royal National Theatre (1991) for which he was awarded the Laurence Olivier Award. The list…
