Always On My Mind (Part 2) opens Thursday 31st of August 2023 and features the work of 16 artists including:
Clare Chapman: “Loss. Yes it does have an impact. I think my paintings are an
attempt to create something I desire, so they come out of this sort of gap, or
try to fill it.”
Q)
Can you name an art exhibition, art book or artist that changed the way you
think?
“Andy
Warhol’s From A to B and Back Again.
Especially the chapter on cleaning blinds.”
Q) The National Brain Appeal provide much-needed funds to support The National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery and the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology – together known as Queen Square. This is one of the world’s leading centres for the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients with neurological and neuromuscular conditions. These include stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain cancer, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. Have you or your loved ones ever suffered with any of these things?
“My
grandmother had Alzheimer’s, I remember being so frustrated with her that she
couldn't remember what day it was. I didn't understand it at the time. She was
a beautiful, kind woman.”
When
the critic Jerry Saltz was recently asked what it is he’s looking for in art he
answered “A sense of necessity, someone working in their own voice, doing what
they can’t not do.” Do you relate to his way of thinking and do you think your
own work is something you just can’t not do?
“Absolutely.
It's a completely obsessive and compulsive pre-occupation, and a bit crazy. I could paint anything and I wonder why I
don't or can't. These things just keep popping back as if there is
nothing else in the world they could be.”
