This piece 'Interior' was made first. It had a mixture of made and drawn objects. It got into the John Moores in 82 And Marina Vaizey gave it a nice mention. It was hung next to the first prize winner John Hoyland. |
'There is a fascinating construction 'Interior', by George Foster, in which rods and pasted bits of paper, painted forms and real objects, are linked to form a meditation on the varying ways of using perspective and pictorial space to create a convincing analogue for reality.' |
Statement from the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition 13 Guide The Artist writes: '1. From a language in search of objects, to binding moments, one looks for an illusion of control. 2.Like snake-oil cures, beliefs and systems pretend to the universal, yet operate or not as the wind goes. 3. What I will remember from these years, perhaps, are the times when I failed another, and the hours I spent in empty rooms.'
