An old master’s light, a modern hand’s colour
Pick the century that owns the light and the drawing. Then pick the modern hand that owns the colour and the mark. A plywood chair in a Delft kitchen, a neon diner under a Turner sky, a spaniel by candlelight in kaleidoscope colour: the period paints it straight, and the modern hand keeps it strange.
We are not sure of this one yet, which is why it has its own page and not the front wall. Paint one and tell us.

Odd on purpose
Each door puts its line, its period and its modern hand in the studio. Change any of the three.
What shall we hang here?The line above becomes the first.

Described, never named
Every modern hand is the mark a movement left behind: its palette, its grain, its surface. No living painter is named, and none who died inside the last seventy years. Each tile was painted here in that hand.
