The Athole House Studio
Self-Isolation Artist Residency
30th March 2020 - 7th November 2021

​

Picture
Over my career I have taken part in many artist residencies in various parts of the world; I have even organised and run a residency program myself. 2020 has brought new challenges to us all, I however intend to treat these challenges as opportunities. With this in mind today, the first day of my self-isolation having arrived back from my studio in the Untied States last night, I I launch my new blog which will become an integral part of this website as I redesign is over the coming weeks.

Artist Residencies give artists the space and perhaps more importantly the time to make new work; I intend to treat my time in self-isolation in the same way that I would if I were on an artist residency in another studio in another part of the world. Athole House Studio maybe one of my home studios but for me it is a work space, and lets face it, we all now have the time.

Thinking-allowed, No. 4: Study for 'Tawh & Z'Geet.'

Picture
"From time to time I have put relevent snippits from my sketchbooks on my blog, I have over time come to the realisation that this has been a missed opportunity for me in terms of the self-isolation residency. Not all artists work in the same way, but for me my sketchbooks are far more that 'places to hold sketchs', they are a thinking place, a personal place that 'allows' anything I may concider in terms of my practice; hence the name for this new' occasional series of posts, 'thinking-allowed'."

New painting:
'The Ultimate Destination of Böcklin's Final Sojourn Inspires Gaudi But  Leaves Behind a Forlorn Friedrich.'
oil paint on panel, 610 x 610mm.

Picture
The evolution of this piece from several influences: the 'sublime' paintings of Casper David Friedrich, Arnold Böcklin's 'Isle of the Dead' paintings and also Antoni Gaudi's Sagrada Família Cathedral in Barcelona, have finally enabled me to complete it with the right title. As I mentioned previously I am really intrigued as to whether Gaudi was influenced by Böcklin's paintings, or even just by the idea of 'cemetary islands' like  Montenegrin island of Saint George, which was probably the model for Böcklin's paintings, as was the English Cemetery in Florence, Italy.
