Artist France-Lise McGurn on Making Painting Less Precious

”How can you get under the covers with me, but with painting?” We visited Scottish painter France-Lise McGurn in her London studio and were blown away by her energy, generosity, and casual look on life and the art world. “I think my work is deeply personal. But I don't like the idea of having a very strict personal narrative. My physical body’s in the paintings because it's what I have at hand. Everything in my work is like an amalgamation of all the stuff that I'm interested in.”
