Paolo De Santis

For Phil Lyne · 16d ago

79 is still too soon for someone who did that much before he was even 25. Sending love to Sarah and the family.

For Peter May · 26d ago

Only picked up The Blackhouse last winter, saw it on a library shelf and had no idea it was originally published in French before I ever heard of it. Read it in two sittings on my couch. 74.

Never heard of him until today, but 'served Kota Belud and switched parties for four decades' is one heck of a sentence to end up with. Rest well, sir.

For Barry Cleavin · 6 Sept 2026

Just read about Barry Cleavin. Never met him, but I picked up one of his prints at a market in Auckland maybe fifteen years ago, couldn't believe the price. Hung it in my apartment ever since. Taught me something about what art could be, just by existing on my wall where I could afford it. Rest well.

Saw him talk about Serving the People at a panel in 2019 and it stuck with me. The way he thought about making space for other artists instead of just climbing. That matters.
