Very sad, strong links to Farnham near me, he lectured at the Art college and there’s a gallery in his name. Quite an innings. RIP. |  |

RIP.
I also paint on an iPad as a result of seeing his work. (I paint elsewhere too)
Of course, his work is/was outstanding, but art is not a competition.
Sad news. |  | | |

RIP indeed.
Sound advice from the man here, "Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it." |  |

His early works were excellent and central to the emergence of pop art before it got stolen by the US, he and his fellow students at college including Pauline Botty, Derek Boshier, Peter Blake and Richard Hamilton were an incredible generation of artists that set a language still drawn on today.
His later iPad stuff can get in the bin, it's embarrassingly bad and the RA should have known better than to indulge him, and his "immersive" hagiography at Lightroom was ghastly. But i do have a softspot for his multi-screen landscape experimental works and also his photographic collages, and the way he did connect analogue and digital work seamlessly through his research into lenses and mirrors and how the Old Masters may have employed the technology.
He was cantankerous and a difficult person. I think there were better artists of his generation but obviously the ones who are loudest and make biggest headlines are remembered in the immediate moment, and at his best his work was wonderful. |  |

Sad to hear.
I thought the news might have made a bigger splash, though.

I thought this was a nice piece on the BBC today.

He has a Suffolk connection too as he spent a summer in Kirton in the late 1950's. There are at least three paintings of the village and one of Trimley too.
His style was noticeably different in his early days. Much more conventional. | | | |

His documentary on Camera Obscura use by the Great Masters, and the evidence he provided of lens and mirror effects such as fore-lengthening convinced me.
And that theory provides the perfect link between Renaissance Art and Photography. | | | |
