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 UK, 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?
