NEW DOCUMENTARY: Graham Boyd: A Life In Colour
Two years in the making, this new Goldmark film finds 93 year old veteran of abstraction Graham Boyd at work in his Hertfordshire studio. He talks about his life and inspiration; the early development of his painting into pure abstraction, the impact on his work of his time spent in Africa and America and his continuing artistic journey.
Here are some of the kind comments from views of the film…
“You’ve done it again, Goldmark! You make the best art documentaries ever. Thank you for showing this inspiring film of an artist who has such humility that one cannot fail to be inspired by him: both as an artist and as a man.
The Graham Boyd film is a jewel. It addresses most relevant issues when showing the incomparable modesty and honesty of a genuine “artist” something rarely available at the best of time. It encourages older practitioners like myself to persevere and find joy in the making without necessarily expecting gallery success or recognition. Gratitude to the Goldmark Team for offering such a uniquely deep experience.
Wonderful. Graham Boyd is such an inspiring artist. His words, thoughts and paintings have triggered delight and wonder in me. Thank you.
What a wonderful documentary, wow ! He is so inspiring and all he says I really do feel too as an artist...he made some amazing works of art.
What a pleasure to peak into the world of Graham Boyd. Good story of the evolution of painting alongside his personal journey. I liked his summation at the end of the video that creativity is a spiritual thing and that it requires honesty. Very beautiful work.
