Dear Brett:
Just wondering how one enjoys a post on Two Coats of Paint? �My show is up at Elizabeth Harris (April 20-June 3) and I am scratching my head about getting the word out.�With time I’ll get a handle on it, but am currently scrambling to fill the�gaps in promotion.
Regards,
Julian

Hi Sharon:
You are so right. Yes, meant to send to Painters Table, Brett’s website. But love your sight as well, and how serendipitous to read about another NYSS alumnus�Todd Bienvenu.
Hmmm..regarding publishing that�email, well, if it suits your program, sure. If it comes back to bite me, I’ll deal with it. �It’s always a bit nerve wracking having one’s work up and on display.�Would appreciate meeting you at the gallery and talking about the paintings. I’m around, so just LMK.
Thank you Sharon!
Julian

Julian Hatton – Hello from Janice La Motta. I showed your work years ago at my gallery (Paesaggio Gallery). Love these new paintings.
I consider Julian Hatton a prodigious talent and probably the most exciting painter working today. His foundation in art history vs. studio practice brings an added layer of intrigue in my opinion. In an odd way, I find it encouraging to see this email exchange. It reveals the inner workings of the ever-changing art business and market. He’s only a little snarky in tone but the fact that Hatton will take his lumps for the faux pas is endearing. The email revels the sort of grim reality that even if you “make it” like Hatton, “everyday your hustling.” For a painter like me who is struggling to get traction the message is: make your best art, expect to hustle everyday and try to be nice about it!
A voice out of the past. I love this sort of very personal responses.
This is gorgeous work. It’s nice to read in the comments of the art history grounding. Can’t wait to see in person.
This looks like a child took a crayon out of their ass and shoved it onto a canvas. I understand what abstract art is– but this is FAR FAR FROM IT….make something of quality, not something just because your name is on it. I hate artists like this! There are so many other artist who make masterpieces and never get noticed, then we have people who just shove a few colors together with no effort or thought at all and get millions for it. this shit pisses me off.
