PUBLIC MARKS with tags art & pixel

The measuring marks over the surface of Uglow’s paintings are a distinctive feature of his work. The marks are a vestige of his mentor William Coldstream. Like his mentor, Uglow also nearly always worked from direct observation and used a similar method of measuring to Coldstream. Uglow would put done marks on the painting (and sometimes on the models) to help measure between different points. Whereas Coldstream felt like it was untidy when he left the marks (he likened it to having his shirt untucked), Uglow claimed he didn’t remove the marks because he didn’t know when he might need to refer to them again.

Oh, the Catholic church won't be happy about this. Banksy just unveiled a brand new sculpture called Cardinal Sin which is a 18-century stone bust of a priest with its face sawn off and replaced by blank "pixelated" bathroom tiles. It was created as a response to the child abuse scandal in the Catholic church and its subsequent cover-up.
