    Populate! update #1 (not quite Hollywood)

    Our tenth-birthday Populate! programme is revving up – fast. Here's the first of what'll be quite a few Populate! updates leading up to our birthday on May 10. (And a warning to those suffering coulrophobia, or fear of clowns: DON'T SCROLL DOWN.)

    Notes

    But seriously

    When it comes to contemporary painting, seriousness has a way of turning into solemnity, and solemn art is just asking for it.
