The story so far…
This series is a response to an Instagram post by @division_of_labour, in which Nat Pitt shared an image of a painting he had made whilst studying for an MA in Fine Art at the University of Wolverhampton. The painting was mysteriously stolen.
This work is a recreation of a series of paintings entitled Stale-Air Painting. It was made on the proviso that Nat would recreate the lecture from memory and deliver it as a lesson for the course Painting for Conceptual Artists, co-designed by students at the University of Worcester.
Eight paintings will appear alongside key ideas and concepts recalled from memory and scribbled notes, re-enacting Professor John Roberts’ 2009 professorial lecture.
