by E Zapotek (Author), Divine Mother Hubbard (Artist)
In 2008 Idiosynchronism a conceptualist movement was joined anonimously by somebody who was internationally famous in another guise, and who painted under the pseudonym of The Divine Mother Hubbard. The artist refused to reveal gender, age, or real name for fear of “embarrassing relatives, friends, gallery and agent”. All that was made public was that Hubbard had studied art in certain well known establishments prior to the outbreak of the last Great War. Over the years Hubbard has encountered a number of well known artists including the young David Hockney wearing his “shocking pink socks”, a “very cheeky” Francis Bacon, whilst drinking at the French House in London’s Soho district, and the “delightful” Stuart Brisley in his “disgusting bath of offal”.
The artist created a series of some 36 paintings each one based upon a different Nursery Rhyme. Each canvas is the same size (50 x 70 cm) and painted primarily using only two colours: blue brown- which according to the artist are the colours of truth- those of sky and earth.
