He started at 16 \u201cwith nothing but a folder full of drawings and paintings\u201d, he recalls. \u201cAll I\u00a0knew is that I wanted an artist\u2019s life.\u201d It was only when a colleague suggested that Brosnan attend a workshop at the Ovalhouse Theatre, where \u201che became hooked\u201d, that he pursued a career in acting. \u201cI joined a company and the passion was ferocious: the want, the desire, the work.\u201d Nevertheless, the calling to be an artist still remained. \u201cTo choose one over the other would be like\u00a0taking away my right or left lung,\u201d says Brosnan, who\u00a0has always drawn and\u00a0painted. \u201cThat desire still burns. You go out there to do\u00a0your best and you give yourself. Some of it works, some of it doesn\u2019t. It\u2019s all a coup. Big movies, little movies, big canvases, miniatures. It\u2019s a creative life, it\u2019s dreaming.\u201dIn the next chapter of his creative life, he is joined by Berlin-based designer Stefanie Hering (58), the founder of brand Hering Berlin, which has been producing tableware, glassware and collectable objects with a team of master craftspeople for more than 30 years. The pair have collaborated on a series of limited-edition vessels, So\u00a0Many\u00a0Dreams (25 sets of three pieces, priced \u00a311,500\u00a0and\u00a0available from 8 March), that transpose Brosnan\u2019s line drawings Solitude, Tryst and Mirage onto her Tropo vases.\u00a0The pieces form a triptych sculpture with a visual narrative that changes as the\u00a0vessels are rotated. Neither will make money from the project: the profits are being donated to\u00a0the King\u2019s Trust. The actor, who has been an ambassador for Unicef Ireland since 2001, has already raised money for charity through his artworks.At 71, Brosnan remains remarkably unchanged \u2013 the chiselled features and piercing grey-blue eyes that made him Ian Fleming\u2019s 007 in the \u201990s have softened only slightly. He\u00a0hung up his Walther PPK pistol in 2002 aged 49, having appeared in four Bond films \u2013 GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World is Not Enough (1999) and Die Another Day (2002) \u2013 but he has continued to work; to date he\u2019s appeared in more than 140 films. He\u00a0is\u00a0currently working on the much-anticipated Giant, a\u00a0boxing biopic about the rise of Naseem Hamed, which is\u00a0produced by Sylvester Stallone\u2019s production company; and\u00a0The Fixer, a\u00a0new TV series with Tom Hardy and Helen\u00a0Mirren, directed by Guy Ritchie, which will air\u00a0on\u00a0Paramount+ later this year.There is a lightness, a spontaneity, to his work\u201cWho doesn\u2019t love Guy Ritchie? He sent me the first five\u00a0episodes. Gangsters. Brilliant. Good old shenanigans,\u201d says Brosnan. \u201cSo I jumped in and I was working with Helen: we were doing a film last year, The Thursday Murder Club, which is a beloved book by Mr Richard Osman \u2013 Chris Columbus was directing. I did Mrs Doubtfire with him, and Percy Jackson,\u201d he reflects. \u201cIt\u2019s wonderful. It\u2019s very enriching and gratifying.\u201dBrosnan\u2019s output as an artist is no less impressive. He\u00a0sketches and paints in a studio in the garage of his LA\u00a0home (which he shares with son Paris, 23, also an artist), and first drew the attention of the art world in 2018\u00a0when his painting of Bob Dylan sold for \u20ac1.4mn at the\u00a025th amfAR Cinema Against Aids Gala in Cannes. In\u00a02023, he showcased some 50 paintings and 100 drawings in his first solo art exhibition in Los Angeles, and he made his Art Basel Miami debut. His output is joyously colourful (\u201cthat\u2019s because I\u2019m self-taught and don\u2019t know how to mix colour\u201d, he jokes), with an expressive style exploring the themes of love, loss and renewal.\u00a0Brosnan\u2019s wife, Keely Shaye Brosnan, his \u201cbiggest supporter\u201d, encouraged his leap into the art world. \u201cKeely pushes me to do things. I\u2019ve been a very lucky man to marry such a fine woman,\u201d he says. It was Keely who introduced him to Hering\u2019s work and found a way for them to meet. \u201cI thought. \u2018Oh my God, this is crazy,\u201d says Hering, who wears an all black outfit and sports a platinum crop.\u00a0 \u201cI was meeting this legend in person. Then I saw his work. There is a lightness, a spontaneity there,\u201d she says.\u00a0\u201cStefanie\u2019s work is so cool and elegant \u2013 it\u2019s light as a\u00a0feather, brilliant,\u201d Brosnan replies. \u201cShe was interested in\u00a0a collaboration and I was over the moon!\u201d Once back home, he sent her his drawings. \u201cThere were so many it was difficult to choose just three,\u201d says Hering. Brosnan is\u00a0delighted with the results of the project: \u201cIt\u2019s lovely, they\u00a0now have their own life force.\u201dHering is known for porcelain but often explores other\u00a0materials. The first piece she recalls making aged 16\u00a0was a\u00a0tea set at her parents\u2019 home in Warmbronn, near Stuttgart.\u00a0\u201cI wanted to use my hands and pay homage to\u00a0something used everyday,\u201d she says. She cites artist Lucie Rie as an influence, \u201cbut also architecture and Buckminster Fuller because of his structural experiments inspired by nature.\u201d She often works on collaborations and her \u201cart for the table\u201d adorns the restaurants of some of the world\u2019s best chefs. \u201cArt, design and craft, what you do\u00a0depends on the moment,\u201d she says of her practice. \u201cBut\u00a0art, of course, you make for yourself.\u201dBrosnan\u2019s influences include Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and surrealism. \u201cWhen I started as an artist in the 1960s, I was somewhat behind the eight ball, but I had intuition and instinct,\u201d he says. \u201cI remember going to Smiths with my little\u00a0pay packet and the first book I bought was Jean-Paul Sartre\u2019s Nausea \u2013 existentialism! I\u00a0had no bloody idea about existentialism whatsoever, but I liked the cover of the book, which was by\u00a0Salvador Dal\u00ed. I had discovered his work.\u201d He leans forward confessionally. \u201cThat just lit me up inside. I began to draw constantly, and that\u2019s continued.\u201d\u00a0He often illustrates his film scripts. \u201cI underline my scripts \u2013 it somehow helps me take ownership of the words,\u201d he says. Those scripts are also \u201cloaded with drawings\u201d. Some take on a life of their own. \u201cI have four characters on the page that I\u2019m going to turn into a\u00a0children\u2019s book at some point,\u201d he says. Of his film oeuvre, The\u00a0Thomas Crown Affair resonates most. \u201cThe plot\u00a0goes hand-in-hand with being an artist,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I wanted to stand up to Steve McQueen [who was in the 1968 original]. He was a hero of mine.\u201d Mostly, however, his art is a companion in what can be a solitary existence on the road. \u201cI have my pastels and my crayons and pencils, and my carving tools that I got in Geneva,\u201d he says. \u201cYou have something to alleviate the stress and the strain. It\u2019s always a challenge, the constant doing and showing up.\u201dThere have been times when he hasn\u2019t been able to use\u00a0this creative outlet. \u201cWe went to America around 1982,\u00a0but left my art kit in a cupboard. I didn\u2019t have time, I\u00a0was\u00a0working so hard on the series Remington Steele,\u201d he\u00a0says.\u00a0\u201cAnd then my first wife [Cassandra Harris] got sick;\u00a0we found out she had cancer [she died of the illness in 1991]. And one dark night I\u00a0just got out of bed with a belly full of fear. I loved Anselm Kiefer, so I just pulled out\u00a0a canvas at four o\u2019clock in the\u00a0morning and started painting with my fingers.\u201d Brosnan\u00a0still has those pieces: one is entitled One Dark Night. \u201cIt\u2019s physical, it\u2019s anxiety and tension. It\u2019s when you\u00a0need to\u00a0do\u00a0something, anything.\u201dDoes Hering find art therapeutic? \u201cNo,\u201d she laughs. \u201cExciting, rewarding but definitely not therapeutic.\u201d Collaborating with others, however, offers a different dimension. \u201cIt\u2019s communicating together to produce something new \u2013\u00a0 you reach another border\/frontier and\u00a0have to cross another line.\u201d\u00a0As for Brosnan\u2019s former life as a secret agent, he\u2019s happy to see others in the role; he thinks Aaron Taylor-Johnson should be in the running to play the next 007. \u201cHe\u00a0was in one of the movies I made called The Greatest with Carey Mulligan and Susan Sarandon. He showed up\u00a0and, well, he just filled the space.\u201d Brosnan claims he never tires of being asked about Bond. \u201cI mean, once you walk down that road you\u00a0are going to live with it for a long time. It\u2019s a gift that keeps giving. It\u2019s allowed me to do what\u00a0I do \u2013 now as an\u00a0artist and a painter.\u201d\u00a0Stefanie Hering, heringberlin.comThanks to Nightingale at 1 Hotel Mayfair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
