Bus Projects Tai Snaith: Portrait of a Sunday Painter

Giogia de Vivre painted for the love of it, but not without seriousness or meaning. She was a true amateur in that she cared little for the hierarchy of the art world and only ever followed her own instincts.

Dylan Hammond – ‘How I wish to be remembered’

This is “How I wish to be remembered”. This is what I would like to be present at my funeral. Looking back at you from atop the casket. It would be one last contact with me. Possibly a cold comfort, potentially a cathartic goodbye, maybe even an unselfconscious sigh of relief as you realise you never appreciated my humour anyway.

Jessica Honey & Harry Metcalf – ‘One Armed Man Applauds the Kindness of Others’

Jessica Honey’s work looks at the strange genre of children’s fashion media and explores the process of psychological transference in relation to portraiture and print media. Through painted portraits a crossover between child and adult content is exposed in the child’s self-awareness, direct gaze, facial expression, posture and performance of adult roles.

Tara Cook & Jesse Dimmick

“Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world… Pursuing these reflections, I thought, that if I could bestow animation upon lifeless matter, I might in process of time… renew life where death had apparently devoted the body to corruption.” (Mary Shelley, Frankenstein)

So you've had a show at Bus. It went well. Lots of people came and they seemed to like your art. What happens next? Is it a matter of sitting around and waiting for the exhibition offers to come flooding in? Will you need to fend off gallerists desperate to represent you? Or do you just return to your garret to starve some more?
