ANNIE SAYS “I sometimes come across really old, beaten-up pieces of furniture, particularly chests of drawers, which have layers of paint that often finish with a modern, brightly painted colour. They look as if someone has tried to scrape off the coloured paint, but given up halfway through, revealing all the layers underneath. I really appreciate these ‘chance’ layers, random markings, and hints of other colours in places.
“This is quite different to the subtle, worn look of old painted pieces in muted colours. It is a much more robust and rugged look in clear colours. I find it particularly appealing when the colours are quite strong; perhaps it’s a little to do with an appreciation of modern abstract painting.
