A profile of Max Gimblett and his work will be airing on TV one's Sunday programme. Thanks to all of you who emailed me and texted to make sure I knew. Max had let me know too. I will definitely tune in for the show. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Here is a link to the promo http://tvnz.co.nz/view/news_minisite_index_skin/news_sunday_group

Personally I don't like the negative slant - still at least he gives them something to think about..."do people really send you crank emails. That's horrible....I feel sick at the thought of it" I emailed him.

What is wrong people. Didn't they see the movie Bambi? "If you aint got nothing nice to say don't say nothin at all."

here is what they posted on the web

Max The Brush
Love him or loathe him, Max Gimblett is our most internationally prominent and successful artist. Living in New York for 30 years, Gimblett throws, smears and sprays paint and ink at a canvas. Aficionados say his work is broad, stylistic and philosophical, and people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for it. His critics say it's kids stuff and New Zealanders send him crank emails. Regardless, he's our greatest artistic export.

Henri Matisse's critics said his work was kid's stuff too - so Max is onto something -- personally I find his work incredibly serene, spiritual and uplifting - can't say that for much of the so called "adult" work I see out there - all angst ridden and totured complaining about the ills of the world or the angst of their soul...I'd personally hate to have that energy in my home of office

Give me Max Gimblett's work any day - in fact I have just purchased another of his pieces! It's gorgeous! Just wait until you see it!
