James Lumsden

James Lumsden is a contemporary Scottish artist who works between Edinburgh and the Isle of Lewis.

James Lumsden's works explore the concepts of depth, color and light. The artist pushes the limits of painting and experiments with a personal technique: he applies dozens of thin layers of gesso and translucent acrylic paint to the canvas. Using tools, this mixture is worked to hide or reveal traces and colored marks. The artist succeeds in creating the appearance of depth and light in the painting, layer by layer, immersing the viewer in an enigmatic and seductive universe.
