Comments on: Terry Scales, Artist https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/05/15/terry-scales-artist/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 25 Mar 2019 14:50:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: James Mair https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/05/15/terry-scales-artist/#comment-1274415 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 14:50:09 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=157607#comment-1274415 Hi GA, I have owned for many years an oil painting by Terry Scales Titled– Conversation Piece-Prefab interior, Bermondsey, 1960.–featured in the book by Geoff Hassell, Camberwell School of Arts @ Crafts. Having down sized I no longer have the wall space that I previously enjoyed and have had to scale down my collection. It now resides in my sons house which enables me to look at and enjoy when I visit. Terry is a very talented artist and deserves all the respect that he gets. Regards…James Mair.

Saw a small selection at West Greenwich Library. Sad that they were well north if my ability to buy one.

Great work by an artist inspired by the world around him rather than his own ego.

GA just keeps on coming up with one revelation after another. We none of us knows what we have on our own doorstep. ‘Look & You Will Find – What Is Unsought Will Go
Undected” Sophocles. Thank you for sharing Terry, a revelation. I wonder, do you have open art days at your home. The insides of the homes of the GA subjects are fascinating as the articles themselves.

I left in 1962 to take the Two Puddings pub. My eldest son Andrew went to Camberwell Art School in the 70’s, I wonder if he knew Terry, sadly I can’t ask him as he passed away last year to my ever lasting grief.

Great stuff though, I think the gentle author is a marvel.
