Not Quite Good Enough to be on TV Harmonies

Not Quite Good Enough to be on TV Harmoniesis Robertson's ode to the form of the guitar: a suite of new drawings rendered in oil pastel, and directly connected to her new large scale paintings. In the artist's words: "Living around guitars means they are often just sat in your peripheral vision, curving, almost bent over in the corner of a room." The work's range is a testament to the instrument's potential - its relation to the body, performance and experimentation, and its position as an object of intimacy and expression. The cover of the book features the original lyrics toBlue Car, from the 2023 album of the same name. Joanne Robertson is a musician, painter and poet. She collaborates regularly with her friends, including Sidsel Meineche Hansen, Dean Blunt, Byron Coley and Jasper Baydala (Kool Music). Her painting and music both form from improvisatory moments of expression. Robertson is based in Glasgow and is represented by Édouard Montassut, Paris and Company, New York.
