GuigsART

My name is Guy "GuigsART" Wilkinson and I'm a Modern Abstract Artist originally from West Yorkshire but currently based in London. My new original collection "LIFELINES" comes from a recent new mindset and the process of venturing into a new way of living. With this said I decided to take my art in a new direction, with the intent to start exploring the world of minimalism and mark making, but still with the fundamental theory of randomness being a possibility or not..? New life...!! My new originals collection "LIFELINES" were once another life and now have been given a new lifeline to become and breathe again but within a new capacity with a transition from one existence to another, this should not be a move that we are scared about or shy away from but yet embrace, adopt and grow with it every day, every path is an adventure to blossom, an expression of freedom not a struggle nor not a fight......!!! Inspiration for my Pre 2020 work comes mainly from the below quote and how paint and colour develop, collide & mix from movement, which creates a visual language of shape, form and composition that aims to create interest, curiosity and a depiction of imagery. The mentioned below quote of which I'm obsessed with still to this day is very thought provoking and a key factor to all my work, old and new... "In opposition to the world today; where everything is organised pre-planned, and scheduled, it's nice to know that the accidental things are still essential in order to make life more effervescent. The concept of accidental creation and the idea of beauty by coincidence are fascinating. Can I produce work by 'accident? How do I engineer coincidence? Traditionally mankind is familiar with placing paint (or any other kind of material) at the canvas (or any vessel to display creation). They may call it a random act, but when our intelligence tells us that our strokes can be influenced by our moods, the climate and other factors not necessarily governed within our active state of consciousness can we still call it random coincidence? I want to take the doubt away. Remove the human element of conscious sub conscious. Something that is truly random and not influenced by anything. Is this a possibility?" Author: Unknown.
