About the Book

The Times Art Capsule or The Time's Art Capsule
This is an installation with two canvases, #2x90cm, painted in acrylic. The left one opens like a book. On the back of this canvas is a series of mementos: The Times newspaper, I emphasise the word 'paper', published on 20-10-2005, all the worn brushes I used to make this work, which took me five months, and a tooth, part of the pain I went through while making this installation.

Newspapers like The Times (London, UK) deserve to be read seriously. The images that accompany them are meant to complement the news. However, for me it is all about people, so I give a face from an advert the same weight of anyone else.
On the artist's canvas to the right are over 240 small portraits. These are the acrylic versions of the printed photos that I could see in this newspaper and its supplements (it was Thursday). On the left canvas, entitled 'My News' and 'My Personal News', is the real news. On the right, next to my former signature, is "On 20-10-2005 I read The Times... my way".
The portraits of people on the right-hand screen and on these pages are of two types: those of the news and adverts, and those of the people who wrote the news.
The pictures of the news and advertisements are painted in many colours, while those of the people who wrote the news, columns, articles, opinions and so on have 'better' portraits. These are grouped together and each painting is larger than most of the others.
Probably the biggest is the portrait of Lord Nelson. Sadly, the portrait of the recently deceased Shane Warne is also included, as is one of the late former footballer George Best (below left). Even a baby face has a good-sized portrait.
The first picture I did started out as a classic palette painting. I even painted her lips in red, her picture was probably in colour, too lazy to check (I think one of the writers uses lipstick too).
Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson have portraits almost identical to their newspaper pictures, already portraits. Note that Lady Hamilton looks at Lord Hamilton with admiration and love, a detail not present in their original portraits.
The quality of the paintings on the art canvases varies. Most are only one or two centimetres on the canvas. The quality of each small portrait depended on the brushes I bought. Halfway through the work, I became frustrated when I couldn't find the brand, number and quality of brushes I'd had since the beginning. Take George Clooney and Nadal, for example. Those two are my most frustrating work. They are almost unrecognisable. I also found that some colours were easier to apply than others. For example, some of the browns and blues were easy, while some of the reds were difficult. It was a learning process, my beginnings.
I'm sure you'll be able to identify many sportsmen and women from Britain or who were in Britain at the time (sports), and many other people from politics, wars, criminals, victims, culture, art, theatre, celebrities, musical performers, national and international film and theatre stars, and a few more I have in mind.
The politician David Cameron has two portraits, can you find them? Oddly enough, one of them was just about his hair.
There are two pictures, two stripes, each with lots of blurred faces. It was a US baseball team. I think it was in the news because of corruption in sports in the US, although the case involving the team was old.
I wanted to individualise each person in small framed portraits, which is difficult when they are all together and superimposed on the canvas.
