Work by Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama at Tate Modern

Don’t miss out on the exhibition, which ends on 5 June 2012. Kusama’s infinity nets use accumulation and repetition to create an immersive surface that directly reference the hallucinations she experienced from childhood. They are deeply intriguing surfaces to witness in reality, sublime and mundane, seeming to reference both hallucination for example and bearing a [...]

Body awareness- [...]

An informative talk at the Tate

Last week I went to the annual BP lecture at Tate Britain which this year was by Phyllida Barlow whose solo sculpture show at Hauser and Wirth was my favourite exhibition last year. She proved to be a very informative and generous speaker with a fascinating account of her lengthy career accompanied by many slides [...]

Punked?

I chose to orange the top because otherwise it was boring. Like wanting to die my hair, or wear a fashion item that I know will go out of style in a year, I wanted this painting to have a little more back bone than the typical waterscape. To get the accuracy in the pier [...]

THRESHOLD

    2012 began breezily and spaciously just as the last year ended with regular working time along the Charmouth and Seatown stretch of coast and more recently at the splendid coastguard lookout studio space in Studland. As some will remember from previous blogs I’m renting it from the National Trust this winter and I’ve [...]

New Blood Art Blog

Welcome to our blog. This is a space where you can find observations, thoughts, considerations and information - voiced in a personal way - from the perspectives of our artists, and from each other. Making art can sometimes be a lonely practice, particularly for artists who are starting out. Our artists very much value your comments about the artwork they exhibit on Newbloodart, as well as the opportunity to build a relationship with you. So please feel free to respond briefly or at length to whatever you find here.*

Our artists use this space to write about everything from the frustrations of work; exhibits that inspire; radio programmes enjoyed; technical problems to be resolved; difficult decisions about what to show, and just when a piece can or must be called finished. They sometimes use it to publicize exhibitions and talks; to publicly resist the need for a consistent style; to make unusual analogies, comparisons and connections (and, occasionally, to make embarrassing admissions). Click on the artists below to follow their strands.

We look forward to reading what you think.
