- What influence does an artist’s studio have on his or her work? “For many, the studio is a sensitive issue; Tracey Emin also didn’t want to talk about hers let alone allow a stranger near such a ‘private place’. Lucian Freud has painted his studio with its sagging sofa and pile of paint rags into his pictures for years. Picasso once referred to his workplace as the ‘scaffold’, hinting that each time he approached the canvas it was like meeting the hangman; that any public execution of him as an artist would begin at the canvas.” – The Observer (UK)
