Douglas The Boogie Man

The artist who calls himself Douglas The Boogie Man is not as fearsome as he sounds. In fact, his work is decidedly magnificent, rewarding exploration. Douglas crafts wonderfully alive, natural abstractions of the ocean using a thick impasto technique influenced by Abstract Expressionism. Waves take on a writhing form right before being smashed into rocks and hurled towards the heavens or swirled into the foamy undertow. The painterly aesthetic is not unlike the improvisations of Jazz or a visualization of the unconscious mind. Here everything is in flux, and no two moments are the same. He favors a palette of vibrant cerulean and ultramarine, contrasting beautifully with the deep earthy hues of rock and overcast skies of the Atlantic Ocean. His style of painting is particularly concerned with connecting the very human act of creation with the powerful forces of the natural world. “To me, art is all about freedom, and freedom is all about the impulse towards abstraction,” Douglas explains, “and the reality of art as a spiritual process.”

The artist currently resides in Porthleven, UK. 		Douglas The Boogie Man
