"At the Met Gala, Tseng Kwong Chi was talking to Yves Saint Laurent who said, 'You speak French so well, you must be an ambassador from China."

25. Artist Research

Madge Gill- outsider artist

With no training and no aspirations to fame, Madge Gill produced large scale textile artworks and many secretive ink drawings during her lifetime. She often created several in each sitting, usually at night by dim candlelight. As with all her work, the drawings were influenced by her spirit guide, Myrninerest, who Madge considered to be the true owner of her work. When she died in 1961 her vast output was discovered in cupboards and under her bed. The majority were given to Newham Council by her son and are still in their heritage collection today whilst the remainder found their way into the commercial art world.

Milliner’s Dream, black ink on card, 14 x 9 cm, circa 1940.

Madge Gill, ‘Untitled’, c.!940 Ink on Postcard

This image in particular I could see as a stitch piece.

“Architectural Fantasy,” the last work by Madge Gill

I don’t know the scale of this work...but it could be massive. I was really inspired to increase the scale of my works by the upscaling of the doodle I did a couple of weeks ago...but what would I be saying? Why would I do it?

Keith Haring

Keith Haring was born in 1958, in Pennsylvania, USA. He is known for colourful, cartoon artworks and certain characters such as crawling babies, barking dogs and spaceships.

When he was 20 years old he moved to New York City and was a part of the LGBTQ+ community in New York. Sadly eventually dying from an AIDS related illness, he spent much of the 1980′s living and working in the same neighbourhood  as Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat.  Haring was inspired by graffiti artists making hundreds of drawings on New York’s subway.

I like the use of a strong decisive line he employs and the bold  colours. There is great movement expressed in his drawings conveyed with such strong gestural marks. They make me think that my doodles could expand into something else. I shouldn’t just put them away at the end of the drawing module. 

My niggling issues are: should I push on through and invest more time and really develop them, are they too repetitive? Its a lack of confidence I think. Are they any good...should I just shut up? Maybe stitch is what I should concentrate on....blah blah blah. I seem unable to resolve anything in my head at the moment!
