James Quinn Innovation & Technology Artist

 

Painting has been James Quinn's passion since childhood. Considering painting and viewing artwork as a very personal experience, Quinn hopes that his art moves and inspires people, just as he is moved by good art. "Nobody creates the images I want to see, so I produce them myself and hope to provoke a reaction by sharing my vision."

 

The figure is an important vehicle in Quinn's exploration of new ideas, and his training as a sculptor is easily seen in his stylised or 'broken sculpture' figures. 10 years working as an IT consultant prompted Quinn to use Printed Circuit Boards (PCB's) to reference technology in his work. He also uses canvas, digital images and newsprint in conjunction with acrylic paints. As a self-taught painter, Quinn has developed a unique range of techniques, and experiments with these elements of materials and techniques to facilitate an evolution in his work, citing his progression as organic.

 

Quinn's paintings have evolved incrementally to produce two main types of work: the technology paintings and the abstracts.
