WHAT DID I PAINT IN LONDON I LIEVE VAN MEEGEN | TFAC RESIDENCY

We hosted Lieve van Meegen in our Residency Programme during October 2018 in the Studio Building | West London. In this video we get a preview of her residency and see her painting a big canvas. Her way of working is completely spontaneous without any form of design or sketching. This process itself is at least as important to her as the final work. It is one big adventure in research and experimentation. Seeing her paint in the studio shows courage and determination. Something we do not encounter too often. Fear of error seems to be non-existing. With confidence and grace she plunges into her work, where the play of brush and paint sometimes reminds us of a dance with the canvas. This way, some of her work get’s a sensual undertone. In her artist statement she says: ‘For me, paint can never be wet enough’.
