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
no tricks here! I really like his series of sculptures that appear from a vertical surface - they give great tension almost the feling that at any time they will fall - like when you hang a painting in haste and just notice at the last moment it slightly change angle, or as recently happened, hear a crash and when you investigate you see a portrait of your son lying on the stairs with a hole where the rawplug once was - the walls in our house are in places not upto the placing of modern art!!
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.
