This idea for The Kick-About No. 144 began with that criticism often levelled at expressive, Modern paintings etc… the one that goes, ‘My four year old could do better than that!’ I imagine similar comments were made as people stood before Fauvist paintings with their mouths open in outrage.


I tore a few pages from a Super Jumbo Colouring Book and stuck them down on a bigger sheet of card, then proceeded to ‘paint inside the lines’—and then outside of them too, dialling up the colour with each pass. Not sure what I ended up with, but someone, somewhere is probably saying, ‘My four year old could do better than that!’
