The Spice Artist

The Spice Artist

Artist Profile Mervyn is a self-taught, self-representing artist. He is often referred to as outsider artist. He has been creating art in various forms since an early age, but has had no formal training or education in fine arts. Working with his internal urges, his works have been described as "stirring and radical". Mervyn is now a full-time professional artist dabbling with his ideas and inspirations onto the canvas in his studio. He is focused on painting with acrylics and is also known by his pet name "The Spice Artist". Mervyn's has taken part in several solo and group exhibitions internationally. His works can be found in numerous private and corporate collections throughout the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada, as well as throughout the European continent, the Middle East and Asia. Mervyn was born 1983 in Singapore, and now lives and works in Manchester. Inspiration Mervyn's distinctive paintings emphasis on bold, vibrant colours. Primarily dabbling in abstracts, he is constantly coming up with new refreshing visual ideas onto his works. A lot of Mervyn's current work is based on humour. "Alot of my inspiration comes from the natural surroundings and through my travels backpacking in the North Africa, the Middle East and India. I love walking through the buzzing souks and smelling the aromas in the stale air. I love watching the locals haggle and trade. I love the sounds unheard of. I love the fact that I have all these memories to keep" To Canvas "In my studio, I am creating a free flow of ideas, thoughts and emotions, narrated in an abstraction in which colours and shapes randomly collide. My canvas is like a toy to me, extremely personal yet universally relevant to the human journey. I dabble in modern abstract images which are often received through inner vision and self-conflict expression. In this journey through expressionism, I have discovered my artistic style and philosophy. I have chosen primarily pure abstract expression as it allows individual viewers to reach inside themselves for their own inner response to the work. This way, I have created an emotional response without even being specific. I am entirely self-taught" ------------------------------------------------- PAST/FUTURE SHOWS & EXHIBTIONS: MAY DAY Art Exhibition - London, United Kingdom 01 May - 09 May 2008 Red Cross Summer Exhibition "Victims of Arms Conflicts" - The Hague, Netherlands 07 Jun - 27 Jun 2008 One Night Stand @ Sidebar Phoenix - Arizona, USA 11 Mar 2009 Showcase @ Taurus Bar Manchester, United Kingdom 01 Mar - 31 Mar 2011 Showcase @ Taurus Bar Manchester, United Kingdom 01 Oct - 31 Oct 2012 If you are interested in any of my works, please contact me at art@mervyntay.com Thank you for supporting ORIGINAL ART!
