Ben Jamie To The Studio

Welcome to Episode 10 of To The Studio. This weeks guest is Ben Jamie..

Ben Jamie’s oil paintings attempt to explore the boundaries between the incongruous and the sentimental, turning the ordinary into the unfamiliar.
.
.
Inspiration comes from many sources, be it studio detritus, fly tipping, trans humanism, conspiracy theories or fast food, and although based somewhere in reality, the paintings are fairly undisturbed by the real world. The paintings depict notional, metamorphic spaces containing their own logic, including shapes that have associations; something in a state of metamorphosis; something responding to an external force or inherent forms discovered in something exposed to an extreme event.
.
.
Open drawing is very important in the construction of the work – paintings are worked over many times, with the final image only being discovered over time.
