‘We are there with our noses pressed up against the snow and rock and ice.’
Ben Tufnell – Tate Britain
‘When it is going well,’ Julian Cooper says of his craft, ‘the physical act of painting moves at the same pace as the thinking process … This is very satisfying but it does not always happen. Often it is a grinding struggle to get it right.’
Julian has grafted to take his place among the most accomplished of mountain painters. His approach is distinctly that of a climber. ‘You’re handling raw material,’ he has said in the past, ‘dealing with a vertical surface. A vertical crag is just like a huge abstract painting, processed by time.’
