Neil Young was born in Ottawa and now resides in Toronto. He holds a degree in Architecture from the University of Toronto, and practiced for over 10 years before returning to his childhood passion of creating visual art. His vibrant and colourful modern abstract paintings are strongly influenced by nature, the urban landscape and the machine. Created with unexpected colours and strong compositions, his work is built up in layers using various mediums and a variety of techniques. Each piece undergoes many phases giving a strong sense of depth and emotional quality to the onlooker.
“Though I work with as much intention as I can, my unconscious is the undisputed dominator, and the result is a layered dialogue of lessons learnt, accidents and desires freed.”
“With every piece decisions are made intuitively. Not every decision is right, so then begins the layering process of patching, repairing, and re-exposing, until it has been wrestled tired and has found resolution. It is only now that I feel fulfilled and the work is complete.”
