Gustav Min

I produce mainly abstract paintings using acrylics on canvas. Bright, happy colours that appear almost child-like at first glance. My paintings are about shapes and colours and the way they relate to each other; may they complement or clash, the action takes place at the point at which they meet... the edge so to speak.

I had been painting for a few years, a past-time secondary to my role as a musician. But as I have matured, so has my ability of self-expression and now music has taken a back-seat as I embrace painting as my main outlet of expression. I have no formal training as an artist beyond reading Henry Miller's "The Angel Is My Watermark", but have instead super-imposed all that I have learnt as a musician on my painting (song-structure, instrumentation, etc... ). I believe this gives my work a freshness, as it isn't bogged down by convention and has a tremendous freedom of style.

I mainly concern myself with the Abstract, but also incorporate elements of Opart into my work. I find these mediums liberating and satisfying on a personal level because they involve the viewer, indeed they depend upon the audience taking an active role in their appreciation of the painting; it becomes a more involving and satisfying experience for all concerned.
