James Drinkwater: I Love You More Than Paintings. Works 2008-2024

“James Drinkwater paintings are physical, muscular, messy - articulating something that Picasso started - blending nameable and unnameable or recognisable imagery with nondescript painted signs, dancing in a frenetic ballet of attack after attack, sometimes confounding sometimes parting the seas of expression to a clear cohesive rhythm where painted cacophony reigns, not over matter but out of matter. Personal, familial, local of somewhere faraway and right around the corner.”

Julian Schnabel

This extensive collection of James Drinkwater’s work includes a conversation with the artist by Ineke Dane, an essay by Louise Martin-Chew, and a foreword by Nicholas Thompson.
