In an interview with Young Space, Duff explained how his work is somewhat inspired by sci-fi culture and the ways in which modern society is shaped around progress and disenchantment. “I’ve been really into sci-fi and fantasy art from the 70’s and 80’s lately,” said Duff. “It’s all so ridiculously over the top and technically impressive. I feel like I learn more looking at that stuff than any trip to the museum.”

“I’ve been considering our current era of abundance in the frame of science fiction for the past couple of years,” he went on to explain, stating how remarkable it is that we have access to so much information and physical goods and how quickly we have come to expect it all. “In relation to 99.9% of human history we live in an especially ridiculous time,” he observed. “We still mostly have a 20th century mentality, but we practically live a 24th century Star Trek: Next Generation replicator lifestyle.”

In light of that, his advice to other aspiring artists is fairly realistic: make whatever you want, because most people don’t care if you make anything at all. Duff’s abstract paintings have been exhibited internationally and have been featured in numerous publications including New American Paintings, ArtMaze, Ambit and JOIA Magazine. But you can also follow his work online, via Instagram.

But though the finished result is seemingly structured, Heisch admits that her creative process is mostly intuitive. “Usually this involves a few ideas,” she explained in an interview with Maake Magazine, “such as color restrictions and combinations I might give myself, or something the painting will feature (such as a shape that looks as if it’s in motion, is standing upright, or is covered in specks).”

At the heart of her work lies a basic contradiction between revealing and concealing. “My compositions are ultimately the result of revealing and concealing,” says Heisch, “pulling things forward, pushing things back.” For the most part, this involves taking information away, such as blackening out a once brightly colored line or covering an entire space with her linear systems.

“I like how the unveiling of this forgotten and often incompatible component throws me a bit off course,” she adds. “It’s funny, most of the time these areas are pushed to the far background, covered up, or in the end aren’t all that noticeable; but it never fails to force me to change directions, or at least avoid heading in such a straight line.”

Case in point, the art style of Jason Anderson.

Hailing from Dorset, England, Jason Anderson first got his start working on restoration projects. Among the places he’s worked on are the Wells Cathedrals, the York Minister, and the Gloucester.

Having worked on these old cathedrals, specifically, their stained glasses, helped inspire Jason to come up with his own style, which he has since been using to recreate modern landscapes into warm and colorful pieces that belong in everyone’s living room.

The combination of colors and shapes can make Jason’s abstract paintings look “off” at first, but if you look closely enough, you’ll appreciate just how much detail goes into each work.
