The Refractive Pool Book!
Refractive Pool has published a book containing portraits of 38 artists currently based in and around Liverpool. These unique, layered images were produced by combining new paintings with photographic portraits of each of the individual artists. These striking images are accompanied by the thoughts and words of the painters themselves. The book features the newly commissioned poem The Studio, written by Paul Farley and themed around his memories of the city and the practice of painting.
