MY FAVOURITE Famed for his intricate and extraordinary paintings, US born artist Alex Echo offers us an insight into his world
New York City Well, like the song says, "if you can make it there you can make it anywhere"! It's the big draw, the big tent, the main attraction, center-stage, open 24 hours! NYC beat me to a pulp, and then nursed me back to health. It is the kindest, most generous, most loving, most exciting place on earth. If you fall down in NYC someone will pick you up. East Hampton, NY My spiritual home town. My dearest oldest friends live there. I fell down and was picked up there. I rebuilt my mind and body there. London The Big Smoke, Londinium, London! How can you not love London? For nearly 2,000 years there has been a mad band of people calling this insane and magical little point on earth home. As an outsider who now lives here I can feel this magic and madness - its history and glory. I
always travel by taxi as I want to witness every square inch of this great city!
Cornwall I am lucky to have been escorted by some locals in Penzance and St Ives to some very secret and magical places in Cornwall. I've met many wonderful and like minded pirates there. The light is like no other place on earth. For me there is a deep resonance down on Land's End. The sea calls me there. The magic there calls me. Paris I lived in Paris, I have loved in Paris. I have exhibited my work in Paris, I have slept in the streets of Paris and drank wine on the roof of Notre Dame - I am in love with Paris. I have failed in Paris and won in Paris - I am mesmerised by the beauty of Paris.
