{"product_id":"painting-writing-texting","title":"Painting Writing Texting","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting Writing Texting chronicles the friendship between painter Chantal Joffe and writer Olivia Laing, which began in 2016 when Joffe approached Laing to ask if they would sit for a portrait. From this unexpected encounter, the two embarked on an expansive and ranging collaboration, fuelled by high-speed conversations about art, books, and their shared attempts to understand the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘It feels like we both use portraiture to get at something deeper’, Laing writes in one of the ten essays collected here. Combining these texts with a dazzling sequence of paintings by Joffe, Painting Writing Texting explores the strange and risky process by which everyday life is converted into art. More than a record of two artists’ lives, it is an account of friendship itself, and the magical cross-pollination that can occur between words and images. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51311456518439,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/7495\/9143\/files\/BOOK_PRODUCTSHOT_PAINTING_WRITING_TEXTING.jpg?v=1776731902","url":"https:\/\/bominyc.com\/products\/painting-writing-texting","provider":"BOMI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
