About this Event
Join James Drinkwater and Ralph Hobbs in conversation about ÉCOLE DES BEAUX ARTS: Just outside Toulouse - a beautiful exhibition from the South of France.
Drinkwater pulls us into a world where paint is almost incidental, a vehicle for memory rather than a medium alone. Conversations and laughter are captured in the soft smudges left by meals shared on a stained tablecloth. Scraps from the streets, flotsam to most, are for him fragments of stories waiting to reassemble, revealing secrets of a city and its people. It is a dance of materials and ideas passing from hand to hand, studio to studio. Each canvas holds remnants of these exchanges: pigments from a fellow artist’s palette, fragments of fabric, serviettes, notes—a bricolage of materials echoing the communal life in Albi. — Anthea Mentzalis
