Paul Winstanley, 59 Paintings

An exquisitely designed and singular book presenting an international artist's personal view about how paintings are conceived, made and interpreted.

Taking his own works as a starting point, artist Paul Winstanley presents a series of accessible texts that together reveal what it means to conceive, make and think about paintings. Among the varied subjects that he considers are how a painter seeks out and finds inspiration in life and the world; the relationship between observed and depicted realities; what constitutes 'truth' in a painting; how to approach conceptual and technical challenges; the role of the viewer in the transaction at the heart of painting; and the various belief systems that lie behind the business of creating and looking at paintings.
