Cut

Here are the two works I have in the CUT Members exhibition that I curated at Bank Street.





Cut with the Kitchen Scissors

This collage is a homage to the great collage artist Hannah Hoch.





Just like Francis Bacon

This is my own homage to Francis Bacon's work. When Francis Bacon was dissatisfied with his paintings he would cut out the canvas and destroy it. He would leave the stretcher frame (with the remains of the painting) to be reused. Some of these 'remainder' paintings have been salvaged from his studio and come up for auction and fetch about £22,000. So you can own a Francis Bacon for thousands rather than millions!!!
