Neil Young
Tuesday, 28 July 2009
Neil Young (no, not the Canadian musician) is an emerging contemporary Canadian painter. His work and process combines structure to organic movement, creating abstract paintings that explore light, contrast, texture, and colour. His bold use of colour and well-balanced compositions are quite the feast for the eyes.
“Art is my voice, my release of submissive years gone by, my expression of how I feel and who I am. It’s my evolution and it is honest and raw. Honest in the materials used and raw in the ways these materials are manipulated and revealed in every piece. I rarely use a paintbrush. I make art with my hands. Though I work with as much intention as I can, my unconscious is the undisputed dominator, and the result is a layered dialogue of lessons learnt, accidents and desires freed. With every piece decisions are made intuitively. Not every decision is right, so then begins the layering process of patching, repairing, and re-exposing, until it has been wrestled tired and has found resolution. It is only now that I feel fulfilled and the work is complete.” (Neil Young)

You should definitely go see his work in person, if you get the chance. That vivid colour and expression is even more lovely when seen on a wall.
