Albert Irvin at Tate Stores | TateShots

This week's TateShots sees the painter Albert Irvin visit the Tate Stores facility, where the artwork in the Tate's collection that is not currently on show is kept.
Albert talked to TateShots about three of his paintings; 'Flodden', 'St Germain' and 'Empress', pieces that he hadn't seen since they were last on show at the Tate. Albert explained to us how and why he made the trio, as well as offering up his thoughts on his career as an artist.

Beautiful paintings. Yesterday I was clearing out hundreds of old art postcards. I kept a few for the joy of them. I had not heard of Albert Irvin before but today I found this video and immediately recognized that one of the postcards is from a painting of his. So happy to make the connection.

Very nice luminous abstracts. I appreciated the artist's "I want to be remembered"

I have always loved his work as it speaks to me. This short video is a great insight into how he goes about his work/life. I have had the pleasure of meeting him and talking, last time he chose my work for first prize at the Londongroup exhibition. He is a very nice man.
