In my studio in Highgate, London sitting in the afternoon sun as I did when drawing the self-portraits below. A poor man&#8217;s Francis Bacon complete with leather jacket \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Each drawing is charcoal and chalk on paper 24&#8243; x 36&#8243;.<\/p>\n<p>Goldsmiths hated them&#8230;I in turn never been too fussed about Goldsmiths nor their malign influence on British art world and education.<\/p>\n<p>I talked about Peter Fuller, David Bomberg who was a massive influence at this point and Francis Bacon and Ivon Hitchens and Graham Sutherland.<\/p>\n<p>They interviewed me with a graduating student who specialised in hanging bin bags in rows&#8230;..it was conceptual not shit apparently&#8230;even then in 1988:-) She said nothing which probably says it all too.<\/p>\n<p>They went for a charlatan in Hirst..I suppose I had too much integrity for them.<\/p>\n<p>They are my best drawings I will not get this level of intensity again&#8230;.without tipping over into madness. This is the first time I shown them outside my studio.<\/p>\n<p>A baker&#8217;s dozen ironically. Teresa Robertson&#8217;s mother asked me at the private view if I was depressed. I said no I was drawing out Bacon&#8217;s interpretation of Picasso&#8217;s Biomorphics through self-portraiture&#8230;..but I wouldn&#8217;t have said I ecstatically happy:-) See next post. The drawing was already on the wall&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>These images uploaded at highest resolution possible so may take a while to load.<\/p>\n<p><!-- index.php
