Futuremistic Solo Show

About the Show

In September 2022, at the New Glasgow Society on Argyle Street in Glasgow, Scotland, I held my first solo show following the lockdowns. The exhibition featured my latest body of work, including canvases, drawings, projections, and sculpture.

JAMES ABELL - FUTUREMISTIC
OPTIMISM IN ART

Futuristic / Optimistic / Mystic

I feel this word embodies my current work looking towards optimism in the future with aesthetic forms with a touch of mystical symbolism.

Techniques

The work in the expo and my work mixes traditional techniques such as clay, drawing and painting with new techniques such as 3D printing, projection, 3d graphics etc. This also reflects how my work evokes the future and the past.

Geo Cube Competition

The expo also had an interactive element where attendees had to guess where the geo cubes were located in Scotland (fictitious), the winner received one of the sculptures.

Promotional Material

The location was Arisaig, the winner nearly got it exactly in that location! I organised and designed all the promotional material for this expo.
