The Primitives series is created in the spirit of depicting creatures with a primitive artistic style.
Hard organic lines with bold colors, and detailed dots to create skeletons.
Some details of the creatures are made up while still following the correct anatomy of the animal. The original works of art are considered mixed media in that the base is done with acrylic paints and details are sometime applied with water based paint pens. Most are done on hard boards then cradled to have dimensional sides where details are applied to represent a basic feature of the creature. Some of the pieces are left with an original matte finish where other paintings have a clear uv gloss coating.
This is much like the way that the Australian Aboriginals and Aztec people depicted the deities or monsters in their world, and what really makes these pieces a joy to create. My day to day work is creating highly technical pieces of 21st century life. Maps, machinery, scientific renderings, etc…
…my ‘Primitives’ series is a passion, as it gets me away from current civilization and expresses my vision of what I would like the world and its creatures to be. —brian
