Merlin James

I have been reaserching about Merlin James. I can't remember if I've come across any of his work before. I have a lack of understanding for abstact art, it is important to be open minded and get inspiration from all kind of expressions in art. I try to find something that can inspire and help me in my own practise.

Merlin James

His work is abstract, illusionistic and quite melancholic. It's interesting how dreamlike his paintings are, his seascape series I actually like. He is experimental in his painting, using palettknife to get a interesting suface. He also uses mixed medias to make a 3D impression to the paintings.

I Wrote this before the Merlin James lecture. I feel quite bad as I've had it as a draft for so long.

coming back to you about my thoughts about the lecture.

Hi.

I find this course very exciting, I'm looking forward to the lectures. Most of all I'm looking forward to the David Shrigley lecture. I'm working with sculpture in mixed media this year and I find Shrigleys sculptures really interesting.
