Across The Tracks and Through The Looking Glass

 

Here’s some more pictures from the MuTate Britain Winter Show. I’m going to be adding a whole load more as a separate post at the weekend at some point as I need to rephotograph stuff to a half decent standard.

This has to be one of the best art exhibitions anywhere ever in my humble opinion and I’m very glad to have had a hand in it….If you like your surrealism apocalyptic your graffiti groundbreaking your grime genuine and your people straight up this is the place for you…..We kick of with Rubbish Fairy and House of Doll

‘If This Is Peace…’ 

Oil on Canvas

 

Empire follows art and not vice versa as Englishmen suppose.

William Blake

The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.

William Blake

 

 

 

The man who never in his mind and thoughts travel’d to heaven is no artist.

William Blake

 

 

 

To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower

Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.
William Blake

 

 

 

The true method of knowledge is experiment.

William Blake

 

 

 

 

As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.
William Blake

 

 

 

He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity’s sun rise.
William Blake

 

 

I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.

William Blake

 

 

 

Great things are done when men and mountains meet

William Blake

 

Prose by William Blake-1757-1827

All paintings by myself, many of these and many more will be displayed at my forthcoming exhibition 

I wander through each chartered street,
Near where the chartered Thames does flow,
And mark in every face I meet,
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

In every cry of every man,
In every infant’s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles I hear:

London- William Blake

Here’s an oil painting I did way back in 1998.

I thought I’d drag it out and post it as it seems to have gained new significance…

Into the city swept an old acquaintance with a familiar face…

Who left the doors wide and welcoming for such a master?

This is a sketch for a painting I did in 2001, I thought it worth posting due to the amount of possibilities in the outline, and my interpretation of it. Following is the finished painting…

I came up to Plaistow Hall of Fame, East London to meet Keen One with the intention of spending a sunny day drinking beer and maybe putting a little something up myself…
