Although ostensibly a series of illustrations for a suite of songs the interesting thing was that as a non-linear series of unrelated images they could be hung together in any order.This leads in a strange way to some experimental work I have been doing in the studio with &#8216;abstract narratives&#8217;. This is why I was so interested in the series of drawings displayed on Guston&#8217;s studio wall&#8230;almost in a comic strip fashion.(see post below). I have played with a comic approach before as can be seen in these paintings (all sold or destroyed) from 2005. It is not a big stretch from these works to the paintings from September 2011 when I first had a painting studio again. <a href=\"https:\/\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/?p=28\">https:\/\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/?p=28<\/a><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have started looking in more depth at the idea of &#8216;abstract comics&#8217;.
