Well almost - Grande Experience has delivered this show since 2011 and some of you may have already seen it but for those who have not, it has just hit Brisbane and it is worth booking your place. He was a troubled but very sincere soul, a man who craved company and friendship and failed at both, someone who was so in tune with his surroundings and his emotions. A lot of his work is so well known now but of of course he sold agonisingly few paintings when he was alive, despite the fact that he was actually quite prolific producing some 2000 works over his short life. This exhibition has revealed a number of self portraits which perhaps are my favourite now. His ability to express anguish and emotion in his eyes is staggering, as his understanding of his emotional state of being.
