Posted @withregram • @heathermcalpineart Studio view, works in progress, just a few paintings starting to take shape but lots to change, feels good to be working a bit bigger again, they will go through many more changes the hardest thing is letting go and trusting the process, not to feel precious about trying to save bits you think are working

Posted @withregram • @peteward.artist kescows an bys (the earth talks): in yer face

an exploration of cornish indigenous identity

‘what is a culture of place if it is not rooted in the land, in the animate and inanimate that dynamically reside temporarily, relatively speaking?’

Our sense of home and local identity is a conscious and subconscious experience associated with layers of personal, social, cultural and ecological memory.

Face and body painting, body adornments and costume are some of the most primitive expressions of our sense of place through the use of locally available materials in response to immanent ecological conditions. The marks, materials and colours used may communicate not only our relationship with our environment but also our social standing and aptitudes.

This ongoing series of face and body paintings using local earth pigments and found materials has been developed before and during lockdown with photographer Joanna Natalija and local models, becoming a more personal response during periods of isolation. As the idea has developed the images have incorporated layers of Cornish landscape to reflect our innate connection to Nature and contemporary culture through the use of a range of primitive and digital technologies. The images offer an opportunity to explore issues of indigenous identity, race, gender, earth connection and mental health within the context of the global community.

*This is my 150th window 😮- how did that happen?*

I have been painting people’s Isolation Windows from all over the world since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.
I am still collecting images so if you want to take part, take a photo of your lockdown window and send it to me. Make sure you include the frame in the photo 🪟

Posted @withregram • @pippayoungart The image @saatchiart posted this week reminded me that i only ever made three paintings with this model. Despite being an excellent subject (thanks Ben!) There is just a bit too much beardyness going on - something made me want the figures clean shaven - which is odd really when you consider the amount of facial hair in the renaissance source material i constantly refer to.
