Maggi Hambling is billed as “one of the greatest painters living today.” At age 77 and on the eve of a clutch of new exhibitions, she let CNNStyle into her studio to talk about life, death and being a queer icon.
When I see the car number plate ending in “GAY,” I know I’m in the right place. Pulling up to a pretty cottage in rural Suffolk, the statement two-tone Chrysler on the gravel driveway is a tell-tale sign that the owner is artist Maggi Hambling. She duly emerges from her “junky garage”-turned-studio in instantly recognizable style — her nest of grey hair characteristically bouffant, her eyelashes clumpily coated in mascara, wearing a padded black gilet on top of an oversized white shirt.
” After her own near-death experience in 2022, Hambling spent six weeks in hospital, then returned to Suffolk and straightaway began to paint. “It was desperate: I wasn’t smoking; I was still feeling very odd,” she recalls, showing me the dense and stormy compositions she produced during this time in chronological order. Collectively titled “Maelstrom,” the swarming masses of energetic marks are not obviously figurative, yet neither does Hambling think of them as abstract.
