I’ve still not got over the trauma induced by the totally cavalier attitude of the British Embassy in Paris – more unhelpful and misleading advice you could not wish to recieve. I intend to write about this when I feel able to – not just yet I fear.
So this is the first drawing I have made since getting back from Germany. As I write about this my mind has swung back to the back street’s of Nuremberg and the collected works of Kevin Coyne. We had gone to Germany to collect paintings for a forth coming exhibition of Coyne’s work in Derby (Links Below). All of Coyne’s work was in one room and I guess this is what happens to most artists when they are gone – consigned to a small room which slowly gathers dust. The very very few make it beyond that.
So if you get a chance check out the exhibitions in Derby between November and February and I hope this might lead to something of a revival in fortunes of the late Kevin Coyne and his wonderful wife Helmi. Now if only I could get over the stupidity of the British Embassy in Paris I might feel so much better about the whole thing.
