George Rowlett painting at the abyss of abstraction – plein air video
George Rowlett is one of my favorite plein air painters. His Gallery has put up two videos showing the artist at work painting on the Outer Hebrides and East Kent earlier in March this year. In an older interview the artists said that he tries to paint as fast as he can.
If you compare the pictures of his exhibitions at Art Space Gallery, London you might find that his work gets more and more abstract. He is moving nearer and nearer to the abyss of abstraction and may be one day, if he steps a bit further into the wrong direction, he will fall and crash on Auerbach I guess.

Pretty funny remark about Auerbach. The paintings are rather freely handled. Wonder what he spends on paint per year.

Hi Kevin.
years ago I met Christopher Lehmpfuhl, who paints also in thick layers, on a painting workshop and he mentioned, if I remember right, that he spent about 2-3000 Euros/month on paint. At that time he did smaller,standard size works.
