Bruce Rimell
“I am human and I am an artist. This is the most astounding thing, an experienced question
which I will spend my whole life discovering. Every single day of my life, it is a mind-blowing joy.”
Bruce Rimell is an internationally-exhibited visual artist, poet and independent researcher, based
in Leeds-Bradford in the U.K., who works principally with visionary, ethnographic, archaeological and
cognitive themes. His vibrant imagery springs from the confluence of personal visionary experiences
since childhood, shimmering inner sensations of archaeological prehistories, the humanist interplay
of the cognitive and ethnographic, and dynamics of the queer and the mythical.
His art occupies a liminal space between painting and illustration, with holistic imagery springing
from smooth moving lines, fragmented anatomies and vivid stylised forms. The Dual Image Medium
- in which one image rendered in acrylics, inks and markers is seen by daylight and another, different
painted image is seen on the same canvas under ultraviolet illumination - is a unique and increasingly
central aspect of his practice. These disparate elements are imagistically combined towards a single
artistic aim: Beyond-The-Self Exploration. Multiple themes are enfolded to create a sense of experiential
depth and hyperactive visual engagement, while abstract commentaries and critical positions are
abandoned in pursuit of the simultaneously disquieting, yet intimately familiar foundational currents
within the living, paradoxical and sacred human being. Come and look beyond. What do you find?
