Yep that was the one, I like that blog. Just havnt found the courage to comment just yet. After this show I thought about the drawings and wondered how I would feel about them of i had seen them elsewhere. The environment can effect the work, pulling it up or down.

Thanks again

I really wasnt a fan of the drawing mixed in. It felt rather condescending, I think anyone interested enough to go to the show would understand the importance of the drawing to the Artist without the mix up-mess up! I think someone on a blog i read recently (may be one you visit) commented on how ropey the drawings were and in retrospect I have to agree in part, but if the artist is so overshadowed by a mentor…then that wont help matters.

I did Kinda like the anthropomorphised animals , they interested me more than the humans.

Thanks again for the comment. I hope you come back.

It’s a strange style, not quite story-book, and kind of striving for more painterly elements. The landscapes are definitely stronger than the figures, to me. The anthropomorphised animals are maybe one idea too many, or maybe I just haven’t seen the right ones yet.

But it’s a shame the guy is cast in the shadow of Neo Rauch so much. People now are just looking at him from that perspective and missing a very different temperament.
