Color shapes perception and artistic practice, shifting attention from blue to green while emphasizing materiality, editing as reframing, and tactile grounding in artmaking.
When we were children, my father, the painter David Gentleman, never offered much advice to me or my siblings. If we wanted to draw, he would hand out pencils and let us get on with it. He was encouraging, but never gave us instructions. If we were enjoying ourselves, more paper was available; but if we wanted to go and do something else, that was fine too.
