This painting features in the new documentary ‘CHRIS GOLLON: Life in Paint’(85mins), showing the artist’s consummate skill with both fine art spray paints and his use of black. It also shows how he combined Old Master techniques of thin glazes with the modern medium of acrylic, seen in the flesh tones.
Having been very taken with Eleanor McEvoy’s version of the Nick Lowe song, Chris Gollon wanted to show both young and old in one figure.
This painting has museum provenance, since it was shown in the above exhibition at Huddersfield Art Gallery 2019-2020, a museum retrospective of Chris Gollon’s music-related works.
44-page full-colour exhibition catalogue, published to accompany the museum retrospective of Chris Gollon’s music-related works ‘CHRIS GOLLON: Beyond the Horizon’ at Huddersfield Art Gallery 12th Oct 2019 to 18th Jan 2020, and now online (see our Exhibitions page).
