Project: Derek Hambly
Penguin July 20th, 2009
Last night, I got a really unexpected call from Derek Hambly, a local abstract expressionism minimalist painter. I had met him at the Artsy Fair about a month ago to talk about shooting a video. When I had called him to follow up, I got the vibe that he wasn’t particularly interested. Well, he called me last night and asked if I was still interested.
I talked with his wife for a good 20 minutes about what sort of thing they were interested in. I pitched an idea off the top of my head and they were game!
He was just about to start a new piece, so I got the great fortune to watch as he mounted and primed canvas. I’m going to be able to capture a painting from genesis to completion.
We’ll see how it goes, but I’m pretty excited about the project.
You should follow me on twitter here.
