- Maggi Hambling is a British painter and sculptor known for her intricate portraits and seascapes. The artist uses her creative practice as a grieving tool to cope with the loss of her loved ones such as Henrietta Moraes, her mother and father.
We visited the Suffolk-born artist in her home studio as she is now working of a series of laughing portraits.

My spirit animal. She actually makes me excited about growing older and continuing my craft.
i knew when she lit that cig this would be a good one
Best comment I’ve seen in awhile
With a combination of ‘oh no not another fucking one’ and ‘oh, go on then’
🤣
Haha 😆 👍🏼

"Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave." another great Brancusi quote
I like that
I love; "If you're going to be an artist you must make your work your best friend..." yes I feel that. & "Every portrait is a bit like a love affair" and so so much more in this video that I plan to play over & over. Lovely.
Maybe also taken in panorama (in whole field view) that might be rephrased to:
"If you're going to be alive (or act so) you must make yourself a best friend"
I’m 72 1/2. Been wondering how I could ever stop I’m so driven to paint or pout. Maggie says it...”unlike tennis players or ballet dancers we don’t ever have to stop”. She looks strong despite her cigarette and vital. Our work keeps us kickin! Her work is simply mind boggling.
The World requires more people like Maggie Hambling.
I love: @ 5:10 once you make one mark then you probably have to make several hundred more.
Very tough to leave it alone sometimes!
agree , its the hardest thing, its the art.
GREAT artist and so damn cool as a person
Love Maggie Hambling, I picked her as one of my inspiration artists when doing a level art. Her work is so expressive and yet captures the essence of a subject so well.
just love this woman...her own person...
I love this lady. Pure motherly with a dash of your best friend added. Brilliant artist honesty bluntly true.
Her work is unsettling I love it.
Absolutely fantastic. I've never had the pleasure to see her before now.
Unapologetically forthright and beautiful in her work .. fascinating
Omg her work is so beautiful, in a widest possible sense of the word. I was literally laughing and crying.
Her work is a good energy that makes me live harder.
All power to Maggie - love her outlook on life!!
That was a random treat!! Love her!!
Wonderful Maggie Hambling. I confer: every work of art is like an affair, and every affair an elusive work of art.
She’s fantastic and so real
Love her work, sculpture and painting... she's a creature of sorts...lurking around, groveling with her feelings.
The ability to express what is in your mind and put it on paper like this is an incredible gift. Because what is in your mind is only based upon what is real and enhanced in such a way that only someone who can directly put it on paper we can all see what is in her head. A photograph can not do this, because it can only take pictures in real life
You made me cry and happy at the same time. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you...
I like what she said about 'buggering about' when talking about the process of painting
I adore this fabulous woman. Superb artist❤
What an incredible woman an artist. Beautiful and humbling.
Aw man... I really like her and I find that makes me love their artwork
I truly love this woman.
Deeply engaged work. And engaging. Love her.
One more time Maggi is a true legend , I would most definitely spend some time with this woman .
A short video, and yet the few words the artist speaks hold such power and insight.
Some of He paintings are extraordinary!!

I Heard her before on the british museum interview.. i love her style I imedately can reckonize her painter imediately for her unic brushsbroke on canvas
I like your work Maggi, interesting!
I adore her, she's great
I love your very raw and at the same time totally sensitive way of approching whatever you do. It seems to open into deep experience of life, death, mystery. It is so alive, so intense even if it is just here in youtube that I have seen your work-
Great video and painting!
Beautiful !
What a World-class Painter!! Awesome
This woman is awesome!
Great artist
Maggie is the real deal. legend
Absolutely fabulous art.
Always such inspiration
Love you tate😭❤️
Fantastic insights.
Beautiful
I enjoyed watching
The laughing man with the yellow back rough is the epitome of joy at it's pinnacle
It seems like each moment and stroke of her work on the paintings had true significance, it was not arbitrary. It shows.
I can't thank you enough for this.Warm greetings from El Paso, Texas.
Thanks, Donna!
Deeply in love with the biology miss who was invigilating the exam.
That could be new netflix special!

Oh Maggie ❤️
I'm painter artist I love your work
Maggi Hambling is our greatest living painter
02:55 Yes, how do you know when a painting is finished - More could always be done - but a feeling washes over knowing when enough is enough.
Thank you for sharing.
This is so amazing
I love her
Love her x
Brilliant artist n artwork...
Maggi u r really great..
The cigarette. The hair. The artist!! A painting can come alive and die many many times....she said.
Inspiring 🧡
Ahh smoking! Love it.
At 01:58, out of that early morning mist a true visitation ("this image of my father") of that muse/the beyond.
At 04:36, the second from left is clearly a camel's head with human shaped (or just drooping? ". . . certain, uncertainty about . . .") ears.
Dude, the talent of this person, it's scary, i have the same thing looking at a picasso or van gogh, it's just too good, it's actually aggravating
Totally get it. ❤️
Loved it!
HELPFUL FOR SOME FOLKS:
she talked about the state of being ready to let art spread through you or something. i heard something the other day, where an artist said - its not that important. so try that out. just dont give a flying fock about how its gonna end up in the first place and that might help you to be more free about what you do. helps you to get there with love and stuff uknow? its all about that you do it. thats it. the universe will reveal itself through you if you let yourself be cool with it.
of course im not speaking against what she said about the love affair with your picture. im a fuckin perfectionist too and it can be quite difficult sometimes. but on the other hand that can be the fun about it too. to put it in a nutshell - do what u feel.
Fantastic
I love you, grammy!
gorgeous~
Amazing video
Thanks, Jana!
I likes painting and I recognize these painting program

Good morning it is 5 : 35 am I am watching one more time

Good stuff
"One mark and you will be doing hundreds more". I will drink to that.
God I want her energy
yes
Love her, what was the TV show she used to be on?
'Gallery' on Channel 4, hosted by George Melly.
the musician Colleen quoted the same saying of Brancusi 👂🏾 👂🏾
I'm sure I met her at the Gateways club in the 60s.
What music?
swaggy ol lady
