First time exhibitor at Estuary Arts, Freeman aims to connect people through the power of art. Freeman uses imagery and symbols from ancient mythology, infused with mysticism. The theme of “If we give spirits a form, we become independent”, plays a key role in his artwork. Freeman has been painting for more than 45 years and In 2002 completed a Diploma of Art and Creativity (Honours) from TLC Wellington NZ.
"My technique had evolved as I explore themes within the realm of natural and human activity with a variety of subject matters, both divine and earthly, that speak visually to the soul. My works, created on canvases, reflect a distinctive style of countless dots and a unique pigment technique inspired by surrealism, primitive art and South Pacific cultures."
Part One: Original paintings and 3D works.
Created with different subjects and media using a small brush to create distinct dots of colour or strokes to build the effect of rich colours, shapes and patterns.
Part Two: “An Epic Journey”- Original oil dot-painting
In 2002, Freeman changed his artistic direction. Influenced by the story of Adam and Eve, Freeman asks the viewer to consider the connections between the concepts of Earth, Humanity, History, Soul and Art.
These 12 dot-paintings were completed over a period of 10 years. A feature of this series is the dynamic unconstrained patterns created by colour, form and energy. For Freeman, the human figure could be painted orange, red or white, while other shapes are rendered in solid colours.
