hum closeup i asked the brits about what you said and one said
"We are basically a polite caring people,all nations s have there thugs, we are not all like them however,we like to do our gardening, take the dog for a walk have a pint at the local pub, play a game of darts, watch our cricket, and football on tv, get out of the way when the inlaws come round to dinner, pretend you are having a heart atack when the family album comes out, on Sunday we like tinkering with the car,never comment when the wife or girl-friend has her hair done,we stop at the zebra crossing to let old people cross, probably the only country in the world to do so!Yes we are a great people, we used to have a great country until the liberals took it over,we are kind and considerate, only the other day as I wos driving my car down the road, a driver wanted direction s as he passed me he shouted out Leatherhead, I then shouted back Fish-Face, yes we are tolerant, and considerate when its Saturday night we lads always take a packet of asprin to bed just in case the wife has a headache, oh yes we are just plain lovely folk."
the brits are glib.
something i read said they looked powerful i disagree i see vulerbility, in process, material this unaware unsuspecting baby, naked women bent over admid 'protecting glare meeting our gaze' also naked still protecting her private bits from 'our' the 'cameras?' view,
speaking of the brits, my roomates realy want to throw a party this summer so i was thinkin close-up as you recall well of trying the whole internet Art curation again, the idea came up on the Saatchi Forum today... you should check it out it is a robust site.
For some reason i like Chantal a bit more than most of those that paint in her vain. I think shes a notch below Marlene Dumas. What do you all think of Dumas? She is overrated but nothing like a little T-n-A in your artwork.

I like my art edgy, not whimsical. Anyone see steve mumfords docu-colors in harpers? What if he painted in this style? It would be better, sort of.
a lot of these posts seem to make the case against using photography like this in painting...
Painter has quite a sense of humor with the juxtaposition of these paintings. Princess, Mother and child, Profane, sacred, indeed.

photography to paint then to pixels i like my cud chewed ;)
all screams 'vulerbility'
I dunno I do find this MILF alluring. Could put the kid on the barby.
How would this painting be better if the MILF and child were painted from life rather than from photo?
you could put the kid on the barbie--or tony blair could
Look into that eye and see if youd like to try
vulnerability?

Modern love is automatic

Dumas is brilliant and not a bit overrated.
Do we have to choose between emotion and irony, or can we have it all?
lol ! closeup ;)
i think irony has become emotional.
Dunno, but try to get some esthetic distance before you drop the napalm.
1st thing I thought was 2 notches below Dumas
Dumas doesnt really float my boat though
Me too, no-wear-man. Me too.
I only drop the naplam in the personal sphere, but I can really clear the room.
and the personal still is political
oh yeah and didnt rikrit say something in an Art Now book along the lines that "irony leads the way to new metaphors"
maybe it wasnt him, but I always wondered about the specific meaning of that
About working from photos...does anyone know about copyright?

OK, so work from your own photos!! or have the best lawyers.........
I do like the work...Alice Neel Lite...The painting falls apart, quickly, without that grid behind them...soupish color, strong grid, works.
