"So You Proved Your Point."

The title of this painting comes from spoken interviews recorded in County Durham in 1991–92. Narbi Price paints former colliery sites as acts of memory and witness. "I'm somewhere between a landscape painter and a history painter," he says. "A painting is a literal record of the time made to make it."

Narbi leads the next online PERSONAL PRACTICE (PG1) course Contemporary Art Academy from 26 October. Registration opens soon. Join the waiting list via the link in bio for Priority Access.

Madeleine Inkin
