My favourite line is "The Arts Council came asking if the College had any young artists they could put in a show, and they very kindly put me forward". Those were the days, eh?
What a wonderful, privileged career full of random opportunities and a straight path to doing whatever he wanted...'they gave me teaching jobs...' Man, I wonder if careers in painting happen like this any more...just graduate from art school and spend the rest of your life doing what you want.
I am happy Mr. Hepher managed to follow his muse. The one thing I take issue with was his use of an exact size photograph of his finished work. I don’t see any creativity there. In his later works there is an opening up or freedom added by the artist that I believe made these pieces “ come alive” so to speak. They managed to gain a personal “ truth” for the artist. Oddly, as I hate graffiti, I admit it added more to the work. Mr. Hepher’s desire to be mundane manifested into something more unique in his later work. While I am not a fan necessarily of - bigger is better- these pieces pale in the smaller sizes. They need the grandiosity of size which make them more successful.
Many thanks. -Seb!
Amazing painter. As an artist myself, I have come to terms with the fact that loosening up is the highest point of maturity.
Thank you for letting us into your mind and your studio… 🙏🎨🙏
My respects to this artist! more relevant than many young people
My favourite artist! I love his humility and love for his partner ❤

strange analogies.
These are filling in illustrations - they are not paintings. Painting addresses a multi complex problem. He illustrates but doesn't paint.
@ralph34570 you know nothing about art or painting.
