Mixed Media

Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

I still think science is looking for answers and art is looking for questions.
- Marc Quinn

A contemporary visual artist, Marc Quinn has received widespread acclaim for his portrayal of the human form and its many complexities and variations. Quinn is known to use a variety of organic materials including bread, leaves, and even his own blood – his on-going series, titled ‘Self’ is a self-portrait formed through a frozen cast that is made up of 10 pints of his own blood; Quinn re-visits this work every 5 years by creating a new cast with fresh blood. Asides from the organic materials that he has become associated with, Quinn uses traditional materials such as bronze, marble and stainless steel; perhaps his most famous sculpture to focus on the differences found across the scale of human bodies is that of Alison Lapper, a fellow British artist born sans arms and with extremely shortened legs – it was displayed on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, London between September 2005 and October 2007.

What is new figuration?

Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
