artist Paul Talbot gives you an insight to what makes him laugh, think, and tick and the making of contemporary quirky art, aspects of his life and the odd rant
I might have curatains in my shed!!, yes your'e right its good old Tracey. In passing, I was at college with her circa 85/86 and spent a few good hours supping whiskey and coke and the odd bottle of rum, I always liked her despite her loud mouth - she was very good at getting people to do things, whether support college closures or having a great time at parties!!
Edgy, quirky, humorous images using limited colour palettes convey thoughts we all have, places we have been and comments we could have made. My work, I hope, works on several simple levels; emotional response, compositional balance, mark making, humour and at times, create that ‘ah ha!’ moment.
There are two main aspects to my work, at present: acrylic paintings on canvas and graphite drawings. I work with a limited palette to give visual impact almost graphical, but look closely and there is movement on the surface. More recently, however, I have been working with different materials and approaches, looking at quality of craftsmanship combined with a surprise element.
Work in my shed/studio most evenings into the late hours.

At first I thought it might be YOUR shed, but the little curtains, naw. Tracy Emin?

Nice to hear something nice about her, she seems to be such a target for vitriol with the public and press alike in general.
