Stumbled across emerging visual artist Lief and truly astounded by his works. His work seemed familiar straight away and soon realised he creates album artwork along with motion graphics for videos of some of my favourite DJ's and music artists:
Bonobo.

How to take this research/information/inspiration forward?
A way of capitalising on relevant techniques I have undergone throughout the course of this year, ie: marbling, airbrush, digital, print, mixed media, ink in water!!!! layering, digital manipulation, use of light and colour
I would really like to use this approach whilst digitally manipulating my own experiments with marbling and airbrush. Can see this being major inspiration for my individual responsive work (secret 7).
Abstract colour connotations help reflect the intricacy within music and the certain type of synth/electronic genre of music he designs album artwork for.
Finding out about this artists has had a major impact with regards to enlightening me of the work i really want to be creating. this work is mesmerising to me - its something dreamlike and out of this world and has so much depth, colour, pattern and illusion within it - true pieces of artwork.
