'Slurpy'

[C64] [SWEDEN] [MAGAZINE] [1984]

"I think this game's great. There are remnants of other hit games in there, but the overall theme is different enough not to be called a rip-off. The game uses joystick control, but I found it hard to control Slurpy at times. With perseverance, though, I managed to reach screen five. Slurpy is from Creative Sparks, the new software division of Thorn EMI. This makes you feel more like you're buying a computer game and less like you're getting a fridge or dishwasher." ~Computer and Video Games (June 1984, #32)

Also my YouTube channel with the series can be found here:

Frank Auerbach, "Seated Figure with Hands Raised" 1973, Oil on board, 41.2cms x 41.2cms.

Frank Auerbach, "Figure Seated on Bed II" 1969, Oil on board, 30.8 x 30.6 cms

Auerbach heaves, jabs, pushes & pulls the paint to give us the essence of the figure. There is so little to see in these small economical paintings, yet we are looking at the whole world- a lifetime of experience condensed into a few pulsating murky strokes.

One wonders at what must have been left discarded on the studio floor- what was pulled away, wiped off in the process of creating these works. The preliminary sketches, the knowledge that was sought in the creating of this experience.
