"Abstract" is inspired by Expressionism. It uses motifs taken from some of my other images and rendered in a bright and loose style. I hope the viewers will enjoy the colour and humour of the composition. Oil is used loosely with acrylic grounds of different colour.

Julian Sharples

About the Artist

Julian Sharples

United Kingdom

Painter based in Peckham.

Inspired by science and literature as well as graffiti observed whilst running along the London canals.

The motifs include fluids and gas-like forms indicating life and its creation through energy flows and chance. The spaceship motifs reflect the artist's interest in science and science fiction offering an alternative creation myth for life. Formally, the artist often depicts illusionary ruptures of the canvas with a spacecraft or machinary bursting through, suggesting that art exists in a world with many interweaving concerns.

The artist likes to organise the composition from memory and the paintings are often partly erased as they deviate from a preferred mental image. The paintings look as though they are copied from a reference image but this image simply exists in the artist's mind's eye.

The artist's interest in classical literature has led him to explore visual tropes such as exaggeration, closely linked to the literary ones of hyperbole and metaphor. He has composed several series of paintings that explore such literary tropes, whilst searching for their visual equivalent in paint.
