BIJIJOO ( Michael Horne) 1975
Lives in Ashville USA. Works in Ashville USA.
Represented by:
Marian Cramer Projects
Bijijoo’s paintings result from process-driven experimentation with painting media and automatic drawing, using traditional and digital techniques. He builds mixed media layers to amplify interplays of light, color and texture. Images are conjured from chaos, in a process akin to divination. The forms that take shape trend toward human and animal: grotesque exaggerations of life, monstrous cartoons. Unplanned narratives emerge through these interactions, reflecting struggle, celebration, and vanitas. The results depict experiences, interactions, and movements frozen in a personal space and time.
