Artist Paul Winstanley speaks to historian, writer and broadcaster Charlotte Mullins about his new body of paintings and prints that depict the interiors of British art schools in conjunction with the exhibition 'Paul Winstanley | Art School: New Prints and Panel Paintings at Alan Cristea Gallery, 17 March - 7 May 2016.
During the summer months of 2011 and 2012 Paul Winstanley traveled throughout England, Scotland and Wales photographing unpopulated art school studios, including the iconic Mackintosh Building, Glasgow School of Art, that was later severely damaged by fire in 2014. The imagery, selected from over 200 photographs, provided the source material for this new series of work.
