Gieve Patel and the art of friendship

Patel’s love for the natural world, and his looking at the fact of mortality through it came up several times during the evening. ” An art of courage An art of understatement, an opinion of extremes – such was the clay that formed Gieve Patel’s life and his art, said his friends. “‘There are only 15 artists or poets worth talking of’— that’s a typical Gieve statement. He was brave enough.” Courage apart, Patel’s curiosity to look closely at brutality – whether in the natural world or the human, in man-animal relationships – also informed his bare-boned form, or the breaking down of conventional ‘form’ in his paintings. Gieve Patel’s body of art has a long life ahead.
