Cinqueterre
The artist was in Italy in 2010 on an RSA John Kinross Travel Scholarship. The artist has adapted a found postcard using pencil and gouache. His painted image is inverted to the delineation of the original postcard image. Since his 2010 Florence visit the artist has developed the approach taken in this piece and established an on-line oulet for his work via the Postcard Project on his website, where he states; "I'm a UK based artist, I work with found materials - items purchased at flea markets and antique fairs around Europe. I take regular extended research trips onto mainland Europe to source materials, and subject matter too. In order to fund these gathering expeditions, I've set up The Postcard Project. For £50 (including worldwide postage) I'll paint you a postcard of wherever I happen to be at the point of your purchase. Ultimately, at a point in the future, I'd like to get back in touch with each of you, and ask to exhibit these postcards." (sourced 2015-02-02; http://www.postcard-painting.com/)
