Clown Party 2015 Drawing

Original drawing on paper by artist Shelley Jamaine. This painting is from the Creepy Clowns series I am painting at the moment and it is concerned with natural patterns and textures with bright expressionistic neon colours,bold shapes and creepy clown figures positioned in imaginary almost psychedelic landscapes or dreamscapes. These artworks are a continuation of a Clowns series that I started in my first year on my fine art degree where I was looking at Gothic horror imagery and symbolism such as clowns, skeletons and snakes. This drawing features some of my key Gothic motifs such as the spider web, deadly mushrooms, a crescent moon, creepy zombie like clowns and skeletal creatures. I wanted this painting to be another dark forest painting of an imaginary scene from my imagination,and I limited my colour palette to black and white plus a few select neon colours to give a more tonal and atmospheric mood to the scene. Dimensions and hanging advice... ( The dimensions are shown at the top of the page ) This would make a nice birthday, halloween or house warming present and this sized art work could also be hung in a smaller room or in a hallway area. The mystical dark fairy tale atmosphere this painting has would make it suitable for a child's bedroom or play room and this would make a great Halloween decoration. This would make a good house warming present for someone who likes Gothic and fairytale imagery and spooky clown themed Halloween art work. A bit about me... Originally from West Yorkshire, I have exhibited my art work nationally and I sell my art work both nationally and internationally. I work from my studio in Essex where I spend the majority of my time painting and planning my next works. Along with producing one off original pieces of various different sized and mediums, I have also done some large mural commissions. I studied Painting and Drawing at Huddersfield University, graduated in 2006 with a BA Hons in Fine Art Painting and Drawing and I won an award for highest marks in my first year of this course. I have worked as a professional artist ever since my graduation in 2006. I also studied textiles at Bradford College during my art foundation course where I was awarded a merit with distinction and I feel this time in my art education now feeds back into my work when I make my textile mixed media art works. I am inspired by decaying nature, bright colours and all things to do with the Gothic subculture. I like to combine my favourite inspirations in an overall new Gothic expressionistic art style, so much of my work has Gothic symbolism or motifs such as skulls and skeletal shapes with bright contrasting colours. I like the contrast between these two opposing styles. I am particularly interested in natural forms and textures and the feelings they can evoke when used within contemporary art work. I like to imitate or embody these specific interests within my art works and I often to this within imaginary forest landscapes that I create. I also make finely detailed purely abstract paintings that are inspired by human anatomy, skeletal shapes,abstract expressionism and experimentation.
