Suit of Nettles : Lincoln Collection 2008
12 paintings each related to a song on the album ‘Suit of Nettles’ (hear below). Drawing on American South Folk Art and contemporary ‘Modern Folk’ artists like Daniel Johnston and Margaret Kilgallen. As the Professor from Derby said ” this is not naive art..this is knowingly done” ..it takes a lot of knowledge to paint this simply…although some didn’t agree…
“Liked most of the artwork except the Shaun Belcher works as I felt my 5 year old could do better paintings that that. I couldnt see the point in it.”
