Maggi Hambling is a British painter and sculptor known for her intricate portraits and seascapes. The artist uses her creative practice as a grieving tool to cope with the loss of her loved ones such as Henrietta Moraes, her mother and father.
We visited the Suffolk-born artist in her home studio as she is now working of a series of laughing portraits.

I love; "If you're going to be an artist you must make your work your best friend..." yes I feel that. & "Every portrait is a bit like a love affair" and so so much more in this video that I plan to play over & over. Lovely.

Maybe also taken in panorama (in whole field view) that might be rephrased to: "If you're going to be alive (or act so) you must make yourself a best friend"

I’m 72 1/2. Been wondering how I could ever stop I’m so driven to paint or pout. Maggie says it...”unlike tennis players or ballet dancers we don’t ever have to stop”. She looks strong despite her cigarette and vital. Our work keeps us kickin! Her work is simply mind boggling.

The ability to express what is in your mind and put it on paper like this is an incredible gift. Because what is in your mind is only based upon what is real and enhanced in such a way that only someone who can directly put it on paper we can all see what is in her head. A photograph can not do this, because it can only take pictures in real life

HELPFUL FOR SOME FOLKS: she talked about the state of being ready to let art spread through you or something. i heard something the other day, where an artist said - its not that important. so try that out. just dont give a flying fock about how its gonna end up in the first place and that might help you to be more free about what you do. helps you to get there with love and stuff uknow? its all about that you do it. thats it. the universe will reveal itself through you if you let yourself be cool with it.

@marcs.1138 4 жыл бұрын

of course im not speaking against what she said about the love affair with your picture. im a fuckin perfectionist too and it can be quite difficult sometimes. but on the other hand that can be the fun about it too. to put it in a nutshell - do what u feel.

At 01:58, out of that early morning mist a true visitation ("this image of my father") of that muse/the beyond. At 04:36, the second from left is clearly a camel's head with human shaped (or just drooping? ". . . certain, uncertainty about . . .") ears.
