New mosaic Originals

My new mosaic technique is more akin to where the concept of my artwork started, way back in 1997!! this was when I established purple om, a designer t-shirt label with an LSD blotter sheet for the swing tickets - thats where my fascination with repeated graphics started and it was at that point i began experimenting with re-creating images using repeated graphics. now moving forward nearly 3 decades…

for my latest technique I’m now using larger individual pixels and repeated graphics to create my mosaics, each piece is less photographic, less perfect, more abstract and textured. The final artwork once created is printed and mounted before being hand cut, then soaked, to accentuate each pixel. Each piece is then hand painted with a brush using a mix of acylic ink, gel medium and gloss medium, to give the ink body picking the out detail pixel by pixel.

With this new collection of work I’d like people to appreciate each piece, not only for the image I’ve chosen to reinterpret and recreate, but based on its colour, attention to detail, texture up close, something that’s not perfect and draws you in and can be appreciated from different viewing positions.
