Studio Paintings is an ongoing series in which Whittlesea has employed
the addresses of both artists and writers including Mark Rothko,
Donald Judd, Piet Mondrian and William Blake.
Produced over three years in Whittlesea's London studio, Studio
PaintingJames Joyce consists of five 4ft-square canvases and
shows the addresses at which Joyce worked after leaving Dublin.
The work traces the journey of James Joyce and his family around
Europe. With its plain white text on a dark ground the painting
has the sombre presence of a memorial. It implicitly compares the
long hours spent by Whittlesea in the non-space of his studio with
Joyce's life spent in exile. Texts by Andrew Renton and Paul O'Neill.
