Finally, something resembling spring days have also come to Paris. I took a long walk to the quartier latin and saw Craig Hanna's works at the Laurence Esnol Gallery. What a treat. Apart from his fantastic sense of color he combines a new technique of painting both on the reverse side of perspex glass, as well as the underlying board, with acrylics and ink. It produces a great effect, and his portraits are stunning in their brilliance and depth. I wish I had been there too, to share the experience. It provided food for thought on what new techniques can bring, alongside a sence of perspective, context, color and form.
