What really draws me to Jim
Lambie’s works is the feel of direction
and liveliness that is brought by the multi-coloured strips. I like how he
makes a place seem more attractive and fun without physically changing the
place itself, but simply just sticking strips and strands of neon colours. The
strands of colours lead the eyes to follow where it heads, giving a sense of
motion and interaction. As I read more about Jim Lambie, I found out he is
initially and potentially inclined with music, and I fell for his work even
more, as he fuses his music profession into his visual art pieces. I love to
create things like that, fusing different talents and mediums into one. I
suppose that is why I am so drawn to him.
Can you feel the motion in this picture? They are just lines
drawn to different directions, but like little children, they makes you want to
follow wherever they go. The place is actually a very boring squared space, but with the lines, it’s no longer
filled with boredom, but freedom to imagine and have fun.
