  • Fiona Rae talks about her painting techniques and tools in her Hackney London studio as she put the finishing touches to works for her new exhibition at the Timothy Taylor Gallery.
    The artist talks about her enduring love for paint. Her abstract canvases are an exuberant collision of painting styles: encrusted surfaces, brushy swathes and watery pools, along with kitsch cartoon elements, which somehow coalesce despite their differences.

    Oh my gawd - that paint tube roller squeezer - that long palette - that secret liquid medium - that paint brush rolling tableau ... that studio ... when you got the tools right.

    I thoroughly enjoy seeing artists in their own painting den, talking about their work or style, just listening to their thoughts while panning round for a jolly good nose is so relaxing, and it inspires me to keep on painting - purely to see what the painting reflects back at me. Such an intriguing conversation to have. xxx

    Hi pues13,
    Our conservation department tells us that 'Shellsol' (a proprietory product made by the Shell oil company), is a manufactured Turpentine substitute derived from petroleum. Because it is manufactured it is a lot purer than Turps, which can sometimes leave an oily residue.
    Importantly, if you are thinking of using any Shellsol product in your work, be sure to check the MSDF sheet which will give you information on health and safety.
    Best wishes,
    Tate

    Saw Fiona Rai's work at a show in the nineties alongside Gary humes door paintings it was a strong show,two totally different approaches to painting,her work in this show was stronger,I feel to her present work,but its a tough old game,jumping through hoops,trying to reinvent yourself whilst at the same time having a brand identity for the galleries and art world.At least they have managed to keep going.Is it any good as painting and can it really stand on its own? only time can tell.

    A lot of nice brushes and expensive oil paints but output is... While there are a lot of other artists who have very limited resources but their creations are really stunning. So, i guess what really matters is creativity, and not how much materials you have.

    These works owe more to graphics than painting. She does not consider the main aspect of painting, that of the integrity of the surface. Her work will therefor remain weak in comparison to real painting. Its basically gallery fodder work with a high price tag attached.
