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
Yep, its Keith - came across his work a couple of years ago, like the simplicity and bold uses of colour. This is not what one would instantly recognise, but it reminds me of Gurnica in some ways
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.

I see a bit Keith Haring, but I am at a loss otherwise. The red and woman face doesn't remind me of Haring, although what she doing does.
