My environment shouldn’t affect my creativity. It shouldn’t...so doesn’t.... (Here picture me pouting, arms crossed, in childish defiance) And yet... having joined @studios_kaleido 3 weeks ago, I do sense a change in my process. There is something freeing about working in a warehouse, outside of the sexy bohemian romance of it, and the ability to splatter paint without fear of ruining a couch (although they also play a role) I think it’s the vastness; The high ceilings. All that nothingness. I’ve seen photos of monstrous goldfish (I’ve never bothered to verify if they’re real) who having been liberated from their bowls, and found their way into the sea, (or river, or lake, or wherever goldfish thrive) expand to an alarming size. It shouldn’t work that way, yet it does. Maybe ideas are similar.

James Ormiston is a kiwi born artist who made the move to Barcelona in early 2022. He grew up on a farm in rural New Zealand before moving to Dunedin, NZ, in his late teens to pursue a career in the arts. He studied Fine Art for a time at the Dunedin School of art, but left when opportunities arose to found an art gallery and focus on his illustration work; The latter would ultimately earn him a spot in an Australian Art Residency Program in 2017, prompting a move to Melbourne. The residency program gave James the chance to transition away from illustration and into Fine art by enabling him to study under a variety of contemporary realist painters to hone his skills. For the past few years James has continued to concentrate on finding his voice in a fine art context while maintaining a commitment to finding joy in the creative process. Seeing creation as a practice, not a performance, has been an invaluable shift in mindset, to which he credits his recent artistic output. His practice has largely taken the form of experimental portraiture in the genre of “disrupted realism”. The current body of work “Pushing through the skin” explores themes of identity, multiplicity, and the concept of self. The work in this series seeks to distance portraiture from faithful representation by distorting the subjects into near-anonymity through abstraction, omission, and the push and pull of order and chaos. Veins of bright colours piercing through carefully rendered realism are a recurring motif within the series; a nod to the dance of contradictions that co-exist within all of us. “Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)” ― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
