You need to feel that you have just come upon something as it is unfolding. For the artist, knowing when to start the moment is the key. For me, I begin just at the moment that something is about to happen or just after something has happened. Arresting the drama at one of those two points is what brings the viewer into the experience, leaving them with enough room that they can form their own opinion of what is happening and what it means to them. RT: There’s a wonderful depiction of the flat, even light typical of art fair interiors in these paintings. How would you describe the relationship between medium, subject and composition in this series? EF: The paintings are very directly painted. There is little if any technique. What I discovered as I moved into this work is the essentially abstract nature of art fair spaces. They are nearly cubistic in their flatness and their jarring collaged constructions. You see a booth and through it another and through it another, each booth showing works that have their own, often contrasting, spatial illusions. For a painter, it is a rich environment to try and capture –­ layers of consciousness on top of layers of cross-purposes. I am falling in love with it. Not because it is the proper place for art but because it is such a rich environment to make art about. It has, ironically, taken me back to my early years as an abstract painter. I’m finding compositions reminiscent of my early works.


me. Though not explicit in that particular painting, the environment was taken from a sidewalk art fair in St Tropez. I have, from the very beginning of my representational work, included art in the scene. In early works the art was exotic, full of otherness from other cultures not appreciated or understood – airport tourist art representing ‘worldliness’ to the suburban mentality. I would use power objects – shamanic power objects – that have been disconnected and rendered spiritually impotent by being decontextualised. They act as witness to the chafing banality of suburban life. RT: The artworks depicted within the Art Fair paintings seem to be protagonists in the scenes as much as the fair-goers – that is, one doesn’t read the artworks as backgrounds to the narratives.
