A stones throw away from my studio in Stockwell is what many people think is quite an ugly church, but I think it’s magnificent. With it’s pebbledash rendering and dilapidated appearance, it’s under threat of demolition. I’ve featured it in quite a few paintings recently along with neighbouring buildings and shops. As a starting point for my work, I use my everyday experiences of people, events and, in many of my paintings for this exhibition, my local environment. I guess they all become metaphors for something or other and the more successful paintings seem to connect a sense of time and place with feelings and the physical sensations of how they’ve been made. http://www.grantwatson.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/grant_watson_paintings/
