Kaleidoscope - Grahame Sydney
Television (Full Length) – 1984
An idea is a much better basis for a painting, [...] not a story to tell, we're not talking about narrative or illustration or anything like that. But there has to be more to it than just that easy fascination because the fascination just happens so often.– Grahame Sydney
I wish I was other painters really because they're more fascinating than me. I find them that anyway. It's probably to do with the fact that you know yourself so well that there's no more interest left.– Grahame Sydney
