This is the third post of series in where I am looking for talent on my own door step, I've been searching in and around Blackpool for all things creative. Next up are some lovely illustrations and prints from Lisa Marie Payne. Usually taking her hometown as inspiration(there really is so much going on all at once in Blackpool), she creatives one-off prints in the most vibrant and detailed way. A recent graduate of Textiles at Manchester Metropolitan University, Payne's work is printed onto canvas and she has been dabbling in printing onto silk scarfs(see below).
Feast you eyes people;
Blackpool North Pier
Clown Drawing
Drips Installation (This one is one of my favs, got a touch of surrealism in there)

Pier Hut Collage
It's nice to see your hometown in a different light, but a different perspective altogether is really unexpected. I wouldn't mind the "Pier Hut Collage" for my wall at home! When I finally make a permanent move it would be nice to take a small part of the seaside with me.
Here's how she describes her work and thoughts, "Energy filled fun fairs, sinister clowns and dizzy festivals fused with romantic picture houses, ornate architecture and nostalgic theatres inspire my chosen imagery and ambience. The storey behind these visuals, teamed with my fascination for intuitive marks, abstraction and linear qualities within contemporary painting, collages and photography create inspiration for my most recent pieces."
To your taste, would be really great to hear some feedback so I can pass it on? Are you enjoying my homegrown talent series?
All her work is available for purchase and she does commissions too, visit Lisa Marie Payne's site for more info.
These are fab, Mat. The portrait of the clown is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more in this series!

Wow Lisa's work is beautiful, I'll have to send her a compliment. I love the clown print, it's so delicate.

i've been seeing a lot of artwork on scarves but these are different. they're deep. they suck you in and make you feel, as she said, nostalgic. like a dream. the clown illustration scares me though. i never liked clowns.
ReplyDeleteisn't it hard to paint on silk? she's an expert to have such control on the paint.

Love them! It's refreshing to see watercolour used in a contemporary way.. too often it's pigeon-holed as a fuddy-duddy medium. She's been brave and bold with her colours and it definitely pays off! Especially like the pier one.

oh these are so cool! come follow me xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe colours in her water colours are so pretty - peach with a blueish purple. It makes me desire some new water colour paints very badly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice words on my doodles btw! ~ Have fun in Brighton!
The art looks really cool, I wouldn't mind the Pier Hut collage on my wall either. I love how minimalistic it looks, but there are still so many details to see. Hm, what I'm saying now is quite oxymoron.
