Requiem for Oil

Post updated October 8th 2024. This is the final version of Requiem for Oil, 270 x 165 cm, mixed textiles, lino-print, transfer & other print, stamping, ink, fabric paint, embroider and machine stitch. I delivered the quilt to 44AD gallery in Bath yesterday and it will be on display from Thursday 10th October as part of the Bath OPen Art Prize Exhibition 2024.

Art Brut (‘raw art’ or for the cupboard) I expect. But more influenced by the COBRA (Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam) anti-formalism movement which grew out of Dada and the disaster of WW2.

If you’re in Amsterdam be sure to visit Cobra Museum in Amstelveen.

Requiem for Oil, artist’s book, 2016 (I updated the title)

I use a free font throughout the work, Action of the Time Now by Galdino Otten

Oil quilt detail

The air we breathe rips at our lungs, detail about 25 x 40 cm

Somehow, despite the number of essential sudoku games, online jigsaw puzzles, &c. progress is made and the quilt is nearing completion.

Oil quilt

Most of this was complete months ago, just doing borders now. If the text seems topical, October 31st 2023, it’s because the people in charge in the west never stop bombing some poor brown folk somewhere in West Asia, Africa or Central America, or anywhere else they fancy.
