ON THIS MONTH: ART Focus on: Grant Dejonge Plumpton Station signal box project Tell us about the painting you’re standing in front of. I’ve been commissioned to paint four panels which will be attached to the outside walls of the old signal box at Plumpton Station. Each panel will reflect the view of the village that the wall in question looks out onto. This one is the ‘V’ of trees planted on the side of the ridge to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Jubilee. You can see it just down the road from my house. Most of my paintings depict Plumpton… I’m a lazy bastard. It’s done with crazy big brush-strokes… Yeah, it’s influenced by Frank Auerbach. Particularly the zig zags. The weather above the ridge is often very moody and often very different from how it is down at the bottom, where my house and garden are. I wanted to represent that movement. Did you paint it en plein air? I start by doing one or more much smaller, much more detailed paintings outside. I also take a lot of photographs of the subject. Then I work on a bigger scale in my studio. I’m not trying to copy what I’ve done before, that’s not the point. I’m not trying to make it look realistic either. It’s more about capturing the mood. The whole process takes about two weeks per panel: the final painting just takes a couple of days. How long will the paintings be on show? For three years. There’s nothing as durable and hard-wearing as oil paint. To coincide with the panels being put up I’ve got an exhibition of the preparatory artwork I’ve done on the signal-box project in the Cube Gallery in the South Downs Garden Centre in Hassocks. What a wonderful space that is. Why did Network Rail commission the project? To say sorry to the people of Plumpton for all the havoc caused by them tearing down the manually operated level crossing last year, and the subsequent road closure. Tell us about your studio in your garden… It’s higgledy-piggledy because it’s made from wood I foraged from Brighton beach after it was washed ashore a few years ago. It’s too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, but I love it. I work in my ordinary clothes – they’re all splattered with oils – listening to Radio 4. What painting would you have on your desert island? Francis Bacon’s Three Studies for Figures at the Base of the Crucifixion. When I first saw it, I cried. It’s massive: I could turn it into a shelter. Interview by Alex Leith Cube Gallery, Hassocks, 7th-29th <strong>October</strong> 47
