These were consciously more related to ideas of exile – the exile or journey of the participant (James Joyce, Darwin, Cézanne) and the exile of the artist in the studio, the paradox that to think about the world one sometimes has to withdraw from it. Mostly this came about because the paintings were taking longer and longer to make, so I was spending more and more time alone in the studio. The Joyce painting took 3 years, and the Cezanne and Darwin ones much the same amount of time.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e– from an interview with Ian Whittlesea on artcornwall.org, journal for art Tahiti was the address of Paul Gauguin from 1891 till 1901\u003cbr\u003e---\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIan Whittlesea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(b 1967 Isleworth, UK) lives and works in London. \u003c\/span\u003eHe receives a BA (Hons) degree in painting from the Chelsea College of Art, London UK in 1990, and obtained his MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art, London Uk in 1992.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis work is concerned with words, and with the ability of text to transform the physical and psychic state of the viewer.
