Mark Lawson - The Artist is Thinking

BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, Mark Lawson - The Artist is Thinking

A painter's work is decoded by someone who seems to know his exact thought processes.

A reclusive painter's work is decoded by a young woman who seems to know his exact thought processes. Stars Hattie Morahan.

In an intriguing murder mystery in the art world, Mark Lawson pursues a theme which for him holds particular fascination; the desire of the artist to remain illusive and anonymous behind work which is heavily codified and seemingly impenetrable. 

When a brilliant young art historian flies in the face of the received wisdom regarding the work of the reclusive Anderson Perrine, the artist feels a distinct invasion of his privacy. He sets about laying a series of false trails but her pursuit of him is unrelenting and he is obliged to take radically evasive action. 

'THE ARTIST IS THINKING' by Mark Lawson

THE ARTIST IS THINKING is directed by Eoin O'Callaghan and produced in Belfast for Radio 4.
