Profile Information

Relationship status: single

College / University: Trebas Institute Toronto

Program / Degree: Engineering

Graduation: February 17, 1998

Member type: Artist

If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Installation, Painting, Photography

I am...: A young painter living in England. Active in the industry including selling work to private collectors in the Bath Bristol Region. Frequently travel to France working with the music collective imuZZic made up of Bruno Tocanne, Adam Daudrich, Louis Sclavis, and Henri Texier to produce music and bring back ideas surrounding free improvisation, minimalism, and symbolism to feed into my paintings based here in the South West UK.

To contact me please email lukegilliammusic at yahoo dot co dot uk

I frequently work at the St James Wine Vaults selling work and mixing live bands The Dusty Stars and Port Erin.

About my artwork: Geometric in nature. Taking influences from artists and musicians old and new. Stockhausen is a particularly big influence for me both sonically and also visually in my artwork. To contact me please email lukegilliammusic at yahoo dot co dot uk

Artists I like: Pretty much Joan Miró. In reality though I don't actually care what people are doing. I steal people's work regularly, cut it, edit it and remake it until I arrive at an honest reflection of what I see in the world around me. Thereby I don't care about Joan Miró or any other artist, old or new, here in the UK or overseas. It is irrelevant if you know that creating in the moment is all that exists and that most of people's opinions add up to be of little use to echo the true voice of the source.

Interests: Eating crisps at odd angles and speaking Russian at youth hostels across the UK. Researching how music and art connect. Please check out the following websites!! ::

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: They had some lithographs from Guernica at the White Room Gallery which were pretty interesting. At (the spacious and somewhat bizarre) Victoria Art Gallery they did present some work recently by Keith Vaughan which was a real eye opener not to mention a exhilirating experience.

Gallery Arcturus

In regards to call and response, no one does it better than Gallery Arcturus in Toronto.

For three months during summer 2009 monuments were set up in the space and artists were invited in to work on collages, mixed media works, and paintings on canvas side by side Head Painter and art veteran Deborah Harris, whilst listening to an electronic soundscape installed as part of the exhibition.

Through sound, dialogue, and interaction… Continue

Leyla Farzadi Article Case Study

For those artists, writers, and students who are not familiar with my work. My work is almost never political. After the protests in Iran on june 17th I spoke to a friend at Amnesty International who inspired me with her words. I researched the protests and wrote a letter to the head of the judiciary in tehran, a city that should have been a part of the free thinking world a long time ago. I used a form of pressurised language to notify the people at the head of the judiciary, specifically… Continue

A Hommage To My Colleagues

Personal Notes On Art.... It seems odd to format a hommage to some of my colleagues on a art magazine website. However lack of a large commercial site with a much needed administrator and also the self realisation that the artists I have worked with since 1994 come from so many different backgrounds makes it hard for me to realise who would write down our collaborations in one place? Probably no one. Here is a hommage to some of the people I have worked with and also worked for, in no… Continue

Note To The Public

I was recently asked to write a description for a small series of paintings I have made for the British Art Academy called "4 Day Fast To Stop War"

In general I don't like writing about individual paintings.

So I won't.

What I think is pertinent. Also severely overdue. Is a review as to why there is a war in Iraq. I remember following it very closely in 2003 and 2004 in all of the newspapers in Toronto. Then buying books about the subject written by… Continue
