The artist: "I owned a one-bedroom ground floor flat in Aberdeen in the 1990s. For a year or so, my brother Chris stayed with me one night a week, due to his job at the time. Chris loved playing cards and was really good at them. I enjoy them too, but not so good. On these nights, we played gruelling 2-hour games of ‘Contract Whist’ We a kept a running tally of the scores and a record of stats which we analysed a great length. Contract Whist generates a lot of numbers and whichever way we looked at them they told the same story; that Chris was the consistent percentage man, while I had the occasional flurry of highs and a plethora of lows. This painting places these game nights affectionately within the context of the imagined activities of adjacent unknown neighbours."
