Notes

"The term ‘easel painting’ is one I’m very fond of. It suggests many things, but above all the possibility of a life that is uncomplicated, unaffected, even peaceful. It is a place where you do not need to rely on the efforts of a whole team of assistants or a massive production budget for a successful outcome. A place where an individual can work at their own pace on their own terms, relying almost solely on their wit, intellect, ability, instinct and critical sense. Where each work, no matter what shape or size, can be equally important or effective. A place where you can sit down, have a cup of coffee and read a book while trying to figure out how to solve a new problem.’– Zander Blom, 2023
