“James Drinkwater paintings are physical, muscular, messy - articulating something that Picasso started - blending nameable and unnameable or recognisable imagery with nondescript painted signs, dancing in a frenetic ballet of attack after attack, sometimes confounding sometimes parting the seas of expression to a clear cohesive rhythm where painted cacophony reigns, not over matter but out of matter. Personal, familial, local of somewhere faraway and right around the corner.”
Julian Schnabel
This rich and comprehensive collection of James Drinkwater’s work also features the artist in conversation with Ineke Dane, an essay by Louise Martin-Chew and foreword by Nicholas Thompson.
