Richard Linklater’s 1993 coming-of-age story set in 1970s Texas follows a group of high school students on the last day of school before summer break.The film features a standout performance by Matthew McConaughey, which catapulted him to stardom, but is ultimately an ensemble piece showcasing the diverse experiences of students from various backgrounds.
As Simon wardell notes, “It’s the film that brought Matthew McConaughey to public attention, but Richard Linklater’s effortlessly rewarding 1970s-set Texas high-school drama is very much an ensemble piece. After their last day of class before the summer holidays (to the sounds of Alice Cooper’s School’s Out), next year’s seniors – nerds, stoners, jocks et al – subject next year’s freshmen to hazing rituals, while cruising around, flirting, indulging in minor vandalism, getting wasted and worrying about their futures. One of the great teen dramas.”

Portrait Painter, Unexpected Journeys: Interview with Jack Dickson
Archyde had the pleasure of speaking with multimedia artist Jack Dickson, whose engaging 12-week series, “Jack Dickson: Portrait of a London Legend,” recently premiered on BBC One.
Dickson embarks on a unique journey to capture rizwan Javed, a London Underground worker, through his artistry, incorporating elements of Rizwan’s life, passions, and surroundings.
Archyde: Your series takes viewers beyond the typical portrait studio. How did your approach to portraying Rizwan differ from previous works?
Jack Dickson: working with Rizwan was incredibly different. Usually, portraits are centered on capturing a likeness, a moment frozen in time.
Here, it’s more about embodying Rizwan’s essence, his story, and his world.
We went beyond photographs,delving into cricket matches,street art,the bustling energy of the Underground itself.
his passions, his habitat, they all inform the portrait.It’s become a collaboration, a shared journey of discovery.
Archyde: You mentioned incorporating cricket, a passion of Rizwan’s, into your artwork. How did those elements translate onto canvas?
Jack Dickson:
I’m exploring different mediums and techniques. Imagine incorporating cricket jerseys, ticket stubs, maybe even soundscapes into the artwork.
we’re looking at ways to capture the vibrancy, the rhythm, and the sheer passion Rizwan pours into the game.
It’s pushing my artistic boundaries, exploring how to communicate a feeling, an emotion, beyond just the visual.
Archyde: taking viewers beyond the canvas,even venturing into birdwatching,feels unique.Did that unexpected foray contribute to the portrait?
jack Dickson: Absolutely. Birdwatching is a shared experience for Rizwan and me,
a moment of peace amidst the bustling city. It allows us to connect on another level, to observe,
to listen, to find beauty in the unexpected. Those observations,
those quiet moments, add depth and layers to the portrait.
They reveal nuances about Rizwan’s personality, his gratitude for nature, his ability to find joy in the simplest things.
Archyde: Your series seems to suggest that a portrait is more than just a visual depiction.It’s a journey of connection, of shared experiences, of uncovering a deeper story. Would you agree?
Jack Dickson: precisely. art, in its essence, is about interaction,
about bridging divides, about building understanding. A portrait is an invitation to connect,
to glimpse into someone’s soul,to share a journey,however fleeting.
I believe “Portrait of a London Legend” goes beyond capturing Rizwan’s image.
It’s about capturing the spirit of London, the beauty in everyday life, and the power of connection.
