News - October 2010
As an Original Print workshop we have always tried to communicate the creative process to our collectors and clients, and as visual people we
thought the best way was to make a video. With the invaluable services of Will and Andy (Echo Video Productions – Brighton) they interpreted
our requirements expertly and now all can view the results on YouTube.

You will see some new work being created with Harvey Daniels the renowned painter and printmaker whose work is held in many international public
collections including MOMA, The Metropolitan and The V&A.
Moving down a generation, we have also made three new works with Gary Goodman who was taught by Harvey many years ago during his time at Brighton
University where, coincidentally, Gary is now teaching.
Norbert Lynton said of Gary’s work “Goodman’s paintings have coherence, beauty, vividness: they are much more than jottings from his personal diary,
though that would be a lot: they are intelligently worked art, in which impulse, not to mention the instinctual talent of the true painter, is
mitigated by self-awareness, self-criticism.” “Primitive? Crude? I marvel at his lyricism and delicacy.”
We are enthusiastically promoting Jill Gibbon’s four screenprints not just because she has great talent and observational skills but because her
subject matter needs serious consideration. Jill Gibbon is attempting to take on the military-industrial complex by drawing it. A discrete network
of alliances between arms corporations and governments, the military-industrial complex is difficult to pin down. It is most visible at arms fairs
but here it is veiled behind polite rituals of business. Jill gets access to these events by describing herself as a war artist, under the pretext
of sketching tanks for paintings. But once inside, instead of sketching, she caricatures the handshakes, illicit liaisons and sweeteners in an
attempt to get behind the polite facade.
John Simpson’s new work ‘Encounter with Omega’ will be launched this autumn so if you would like to be one of the first to see it email us for your
free ticket to the Affordable Art Fair in Battersea Park from the 20-24th October. Numbers are limited so don’t delay. We are back on our usual
stand number J2, look forward to seeing you there.
