The investigation of the story was thorough and compelling and I was left wanting to find out more on the subject. The management of the archive material was intriguing and the edit flowed beautifully. The sound design and music were also well managed with considered intelligence.

RTS Award shortlisted documentary

Royal Television Society 2020 Awards shortlisted film. When, as a young boy, Ron King saw a photo of the decapitated head of notorious Brazilian bandit Lampião in a book, it gave birth to an obsession which would inspire him to create incredible multifaceted artworks in a life time journey that has, so far, taken him from Brazil, to England, Canada and the United States as he struggled to have his work recognised and accepted. 

Featuring interviews with writer, art historian and critic Mel Gooding and artist, designer and filmmaker John Christie, this latest Goldmark film provides a sensitive and revealing insight into the life of this extraordinarily inventive and energetic man.

Set against the backdrop of his picturesque Wisconsin studio, it gives a revealing and moving insight into his artistic journey.

Kicking against his family's desire for him to become a doctor, Johnston tells of his early travels to Japan, meeting the great Shoji Hamada and apprenticing to National Living Treasure, Tatsuzo Shimaoka.

We are also taken on a visit to the Minnesotan studio of his lifelong mentor and friend, 94 year old American legend, Warren MacKenzie.

A deep thinker, Johnston talks about his approach to his working practice and his philosophy on art and teaching.

David Suff is a painter and printmaker, notably of garden landscapes using a meticulous, Pointillist-style technique and a rich palette. He was born in Exeter in 1955 and studied at the University of Leeds Department of Fine Art from 1973-7 and the Royal College of Art from 1978-81. He gained the Anstruther Award for drawing in 1980 and the Pimm’s Award for Drawing and Watercolour in 1987.

Suff’s work is almost always based upon observational drawing of the landscape, especially gardens, and is often created on hand-made paper. He has described how there is an important link between the symbol of the garden and spirituality in his work which attempts to illustrate mankind’s constant search for the divine.He has shown in a number of solo shows, in the UK and abroad.

River is a facsimile sketchbook in the form of a 72-page, double-sided leporello, housed in a handmade clamshell box.

Each box includes a hand-coloured etching, signed and numbered by David Suff; a film version of River with original music by Kathryn Tickell (Northumbrian pipes) accompanied by Martin Simpson (guitar); and a filmed interview with the artist.

The whole has been printed and hand-assembled in the UK in a limited edition of 120 copies, 100 of which are for sale.
