Snakes and Ladders

"Kevin Sinnott is one of the most popular artists in Britain: his figures in landscapes and images of human relationships are sought after by collectors and museums around the world. Part autobiography, part exploration of his art, in. Behind the Canvas Sinnott gives us a frank insight into his life and career as an artist, including boom and bust times in the art world. He also explores the prompts - artistic and personal - which underlie his work, now firmly anchored in Wales." "Set against the development of contemporary art over the last thirty years - trends, commodification, fairs and biennales, the artist as celebrity - Sinnott cuts through fashion to focus on the true nature of creativity. Written with intelligence and immediacy. and beautifully illustrated with over ninety of the artist's vivid paintings, Behind the Canvas is a compelling and timely book, in which art warmly embrace's its history and the artist's life. It tells the reader as much, more even, about the world of British art than any critical book."--Jacket.
