Why are you an artist?
I am an artist because I find the human condition so totally disgsuting that I have no other choice but to channel all of that disgusting energy into some chaotic medium that speaks about the beaut...

What would you like b-uncut to do for you going forwards?
I realise that this post first started at the end of December but I woke up this morning with a great idea. Is it possible that B-Uncut could host a small yearly event where the artists could meet ...

Why are you an artist?
Gravity. I think at the core most artists paint because it is who they are. I have read some of the discussions on this page and would like to make a note. It doesn't matter whether you sell for 20...

- Hi Luke, thanks for the comments on "Gripped By Fear", and i totally agree, that for me also, the disturbed or darker parts of our emotions are much more interesting, to paint and psychologically. Maybe that's why sometimes people label me as "dark" without first getting to know me.

- Thanks very much Luke! Loved your works too...they have a very cubist feel to them and a strong simplicity which hits out at me and speaks volumes...very expressive, unlike the cubist works of the masters that were more decorative. Bravo to you too!

mjfaustino arsatelier said… - Thanks again Luke! I see a lot of the German cream of the cream in your art, and eclectic are we all in the end, but it's good to see how we manage to produce Unikat pieces one way or the other and that’s what’ll slowly determine our style… You’re very skilled (and a good observer :-))

Arthur Hutchins said… - Thank you Luke, SYMMETRYwas informed from my looking at the work of Langden-Coburn when he was a part of the Vorticist movement in the early part of the 20th c?
I can see that there would also be an influence from the photograms of Moholy-Nagy . They both took direct images looking down from tall buildings and structures and both experimented with constructed photo art. Moholy-Nagy is said to have delivered some seminal lectures at the Institute of Design at IIT in 1945, the year before his death. He was a key player in the New Bauhaus in the USA and I would love to know if there are transcripts of any of these.

Profile Information
- About My Art:
- My work is about pushing the Minimalist aesthetic as far as it will go. I use ideas from Minimalism, mixed media, Cubism, Nagualism, and Jazz to express what is going on in the world around me.
Critics and collectors often place me in the category of 'abstract' which is fine up until a certain point. But in reality my work is fluid. I draw on experiences and memories of chaos and idiosynchratic behaviour to define what is around me as images. Like Jazz my work cannot be defined easily other than my work began in 1994 working on sets of collages inspired by Jazz influenced music. I like to explore elements of poetry in my work and set up dialogues between the canvas and mythological figures to express what I hear in music as static images that exist in a timeless space.
In this way I have set up a belief system that images are not bound to time as are humans but create themselves in a sort of 4th dimensional space where the images themselves can choose to either participate in time, or not.
I also like to create modes in my work where by Minimalist motifs not so different than those of Karlheinz Stockhausen are allowed to forge spaces where the human subconcious can explore a new space not readily available in the third dimension. So my work is effectively a study of the human memory as it pertains to the recursive nature of the human brain - to disengage from a subjective reality and engage in a much more tangible view of the subconcious whilst keeping close to a Minimalist way of thinking.
A strong influence on my work are my colleagues Bruno Tocanne, Louis Sclavis from ECM Records and the veteran Canadian artist Michael Snow all of whom have pushed me to push further in my work.

New Bristol Collective
This collective is for artists, performers, and of course galleries that work in or near to the cities of Bristol, Cheltenham, Bath, Southampton, and Exeter, either fulltime or infrequently.
The collective strives to be a group made up of individuals that share a set of common core beliefs:
1 Art is not dead and does not have to thrive on the idea of death or morbidity.
2 There is more to art in the UK than anti-establishment art that brings with… Continue
