Over at JunkMedia you can read an interview with Stanley Donwood. Stanley talks about the relationship between art and politics. And actually working for the capitalist market.
Stanley: “ I wasn’t overjoyed at the idea of getting paid by EMI, as I was a very angry anti-capitalist. [...] My work that I call ‘art’ is largely concerned with what could be termed ‘political’ issues. This is the work that I find hard, challenging, difficult, awful, painful, and ultimately, sometimes, rewarding. But I do also feel very drawn to create work that I sincerely hope people will find beautiful. I hope my work for In Rainbows will have some sort of effect in this way.”

Today, Stanley also announced his ‘Gold Series’ of London Views: “The second in what I hope will be a short series of golden prints. After much research I’ve finally figured out how to replicate the gilded, illuminated manuscript images that helped inspire London Views. A negative image of the linocut is ‘hot-foiled’ onto paper, then the positive image is screenprinted onto that. Is very nice”.
The screenprints are available at the SlowlyDonward shop.
