“Mediumism” is a style of painting which enhances the form of artwork to a level where the paint its self is within a state of fixed flowing motion.
Artist Statement
Currently my art is the continued evolvement of ideas that started out through portrait painting.
The idea behind Mediumism is the to give a visual symbolism of light physics and the electromagnetic radiations wave particle duality. “Mediumism” is a style of painting which enhances the form of artwork to a level where the paint its self is within a state of fixed flowing motion. This suspended style creates a level of imagination and reality.
Layering my paintings in this fashion allows me to express my fascination with light physics and painting techniques. This style of painting is an over enhanced version of glazing and use of a medium which allows me to structure the painting and style to a more contemporary art form. The subjects and designs created are more imaginative and spontaneous, which is due to the nature of the techniques and materials I use.
