About Neill Solomon

Neill Solomon, widely known for his musical talents, has a distinctive style in the creative landscapes and an ability to deliver an indelible mark in the minds of an audience, a thread that runs through and resonates further in his art. Born in South Africa with Lebanese roots, Neill studied graphic design during a tumultuous era at the time.

Individualistic experimental skills of “non-subject matter” culminates into rich emotional experience capturing an essence in a simple and compelling way, and combined; seeks to expose a delicate balance between visual calm and a frenzy of tension and emotion expressed through surface texture and colour, allowing exposure of a reflectively emotive mood with a definitive fingerprint.

Coinciding layered images absorb into a sublime illusion of space and a sometimes erratic in the moment feel, loaded with messages of unstructured intimate visual character allowing organic pace and personality reflection.

The works at times seem to translate an in-depth conversation with the self, evident in the many layers that emerge and change transforming visually and subtly coming to life.

Eclectic rawness exposes the use of rich unprocessed colour resulting in an intensity of movement that translates a 3-dimensional expanse into a dream like state.

Working mainly on canvas and wooden surface with the intention of an excellent translation of image into print format, a constantly evolving landscape transforms themes of abstract nature and human form, exposing an expansive and other worldly quality allowing the viewer to derive the meaning behind it.
