My intention was to make a new type of documentary film which is a hybrid – a dialogue between painting and film. Sensuous, haunting, visceral and revealing, it echoes how I work with watercolour and paper: layering, assembling and jig-sawing images together.
From a live performance in Aachen, August 2011
Extracts from “Falling between the floorboards”, a film documenting the work and life of the artist Graham Dean. Filmed in his studios by the sea in Brighton and in Umbria, Italy, and also at exhibitions in Amsterdam and London, it is a personal and incisive account of the working life of a contemporary artist.
This short film by Graham Dean focuses on his ambition to ‘re-invent’ watercolour painting in a contemporary context . It covers the period from 1987 to 1990 when he was still experimenting with different watercolour techniques . Music by David Rhodes.
