Since I have been so very focussed on iPhone art recently (ref previous post) I have just decided to give in to it for now, and work towards an exhibition in June as part of Sheffield Open Up. This will be the first iPhone Art exhibition in Sheffield (I believe). I do miss painting...
I was listening to an art podcast in the car on the way to work this morning. I was struck by a funny news story about a police training project at the Smithsonian Gallery in Washington DC. The police were asked to describe specific paintings verbally, in great detail, without pointing, without using words...
The wonders of the internet. A painting executed on my iPhone in Sheffield (UK) has hit the front page of the Stillwater Gazette in Oklahoma.

Such early examples of mark making were clearly designed to communicate a message, but the aesthetic quality of these communications was transparently demonstrated in the earliest of marks, not just in cave paintings, but also in...
Sheila is the Chief Exec of Axis Web, the repository for contemporary artists in the UK. Sheila talks eloquently about art of all eras, so I jumped at the chance to go and hear her talk about contemporary art in Sheffield last week. Her definition of ‘contemporary art’ is ‘made within the last 10...
