In the February 10, 2025, issue, Tom Gauld critiques the winter experience, contrasting sunny days with dreary, rainy ones. He suggests that even on the bleakest days, one should seek solace in art. Gauld articulates a desire to spend time in galleries when the weather is bad, yet highlights the unfortunate reality of feeling stuck outside, miserable and wet. This commentary reflects on the emotional impact of art and the importance of finding joy and comfort amid dreary winter conditions.
"I love winter on cold, crisp, sunny days, but there's also a type of dark, wet day when ice-cold rain drips down your collar..."
"That's the sort of day I ought to spend in front of a painting, but... I seem to be one of the unfortunates outside the gallery."
