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

​

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.

'Near black mirror', oil paint and resin on plywood block, 152 x 152 mm, 2020, Antony Clarkson

I find myself in an interesting and distracting position, I am now totally happy with 'Near black mirror', it does exactly what I wanted it to do when I set out to painting. From my point of view it's an incredibly successful painting that fuses my expression of painting and art with my research into colour theory whilst also referencing my love of landscape. My distraction is how will a painting like this be received by the observer? Normally this wouldn't be the slightest issue to me, I don't paint for public applause, I paint for myself and to expand the painting field. However as you know during these very testing times my current project; 'Near black to near white' is part of a sponsorship  program to help me fund the projects research and development and so although this painting has not been created as a commercial piece I feel that I should put it up for sale as part of the sponsorship program. This also means that it will be offered, if offered at all at the same 50% discounted price. As you can tell I haven't decided whether I will offer it for sale just yet, if you are interested please message me or watch this space for an announcement one way or the other after I've lived with it for a few more days.
