Brian Sayers paints remarkable still life paintings that are often cluttered with all manner of everyday objects and implements. In this episode, he talks about how he got into The Slade art school and meeting Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon, the difficulties of finding a “style”, teaching at Eton College to help earn a living, what influenced his well-known table-top still life works, how he plans them, what they mean to him and in what direction his paintings might be heading.
