About The Artwork

This piece comes out of a fascination with what some might describe as 'primitive' belief systems such as cargo cults. In my view they aren't primitive at all but have their own sophistication and wisdom. I was particularly attracted to the belief that the divine hero John Frum lives in the volcano Mount Yasur on the island of Tanna, Vanuatu. Private collection, United Kingdom

Malcolm Bell - born September 1963 Hannah Horsfall - born November 1963. The collaborative drawing project of Hannah Horsfall and Malcolm Bell ran for about 10 years from 1985 until it was forced into a hiatus which is now over 20 years long. The work received significant critical attention at the time and was of interest to the likes of The Lisson Gallery and Frith Street Gallery. The artists are still friends and there's a dream there to, one day, resume this practice. Collaborative drawing is a natural extension of the artists' separate focus on drawing as an activity in itself, rather than as a preparatory one. Some more recent paintings by Malcolm Bell are also shown here
