My friend and I got a sneak preview of Daniel Brinsmead’s Project 9 art exhibition at A2 Gallery this afternoon. The launch of the show is this Sunday but we were itching to take a look since the paintings were already up at the gallery. I love the colours and the naive type paintings. His style is so distinctive and some of his images are recurring. It looks like he draws stories from his own world and quirky imagination.
I’ve been talking to Dan about a collaboration maybe in the future but I got permission to do a series of paintings based on my reaction to these paintings of his.
I had a question I was pondering and I asked Dan this, do you get influenced by other peoples work, and both of us replied yes.
How about you, are you influenced by other peoples work either consciously or subconsciously?

I would love to explore the idea more, that is how art of others influence me. O well, Art at the end of the day is personal. I love this collection. It speaks to me 🙂

One cannot avoid being influenced by the work of others, whether one is aware of it or not.
I am a bit too conservative in the kinds of art I like to really appreciate this collection.

Absolutely influenced by other people’s work, visual and print. When you see genuine talent, whether it’s the written or artistic type, it affects you in every way. Makes your heart swell and your creative side wake up and start singing!! You and your work are an inspiration as well. 🙂
