Olease forgive my dreadful immodesty, but this is an important work, maybe the best I have ever done, though I would only designate myself as a political artist with a very small p. There is the LGBT action work, but it is often fairly oblique - metaphorical rather than direct, and universally applicable to include other oppressions. I bought a set of posters in 1977 in Dom Knigi on Nevsky Prospekt. It was mayhem, all my schoolfellows pointing and not speaking any Russian. I was horribly disappointed to see that the bright cartoony slogan-filled images I was after were not the ones handed to me in a cardbaord tube when I took them out back in the UK. Now I am absolutely delighted by the serendipity of the misfortune. They were already 10 years out of date when I got them, celebrating the Glorious Revolution of 1917. I have sprayed on top of them, an abstract grafitto, but one like a deliquescent target. I have been doing lots of pro-Ukraine work recently, but it is against all conflict not specifically that on the illegally annexed provinces close to Crimea. The West are complacent but should have acted earlier. Now it is just a vile mess, young, ill-equipped soldiers dying in droves. Unnecessarily. I will not sell these. I had them framed when I can barely afford the rent, to exhibit in the Cambridge Open. prints will be made available, and I might sell if a suitably inflated price were offered, but I doubt it very much.

I have over 20,000 finished pieces now. Some are very small, but some are 8' across. I do representational work as well as abstract, but am concentrating on the latter at the moment. The work is big and bold, but I believe there has to be a symbolic framework within a painting for it to have any proper meaning. I often incorporate myths and legends. I truly have become the paradigm for 'a starving artist.' I have reduced my budget to a pound a day, and rely on food bank handouts to survive. I spend far too much on paint! Thank you to everyone who has bought my work. I hope the pictures bring you much joy. You indirectly support CAYAC. This is an organisation I set up to support young people in the county in a time of slashed funding and under-appreciation of the subject in schools. It stands for The Cambridgeshire Area Young Artist Competition. In a bid to rustle up some sales, I will be slashing prices over the next few weeks. I feel that I have to engage with this art-world thing as much as I can. I have just hit 60 and do not want to be like Vincent van Gogh, successful after my demise! ferrispictures.com thesaffronwaldengallery.com
