A new group exhibition proves that Guston’s legacy lives on in both paint and politics
Interested in emotions [that are] made visible through the body. first. I thought that I wished I could feel so free, so unconcerned with the conventions of ‘art’ to paint something like that. Specifically, for me, because there is a clear link to cartooning in Guston’s paintings which is present in my work as well and that I felt, and still feel sometimes, insecure about.
I think of his work when I start to question if I am doing something wrong – something that is not done.”George Rouy “I’m super interested in how he shifted from his earlier works, which I find really quite bland and not very inspiring. It’s almost like when you’ve tasted the other part of his work, you never go back to the other bit. From there, [his work] had a ricochet effect, this naivete, this very focused imagery with quite ambitious content. He’s someone who has a clear line that runs through [the work], historically and just legacy-wise.
“My painting in the show was made at the beginning of that shift, just before I got into my new studio and produced all that different, new work. The work itself is almost one of the more autobiographical ones. At the time I was really into figures being seated and that relationship of being weighted on a plinth or on a seat meant. I wanted it to feel very classical.
