Bruce Rimell's Exhibits

:: Bruce Rimell's Online Exhibits ::

An important aspect of my arts practice is interdisciplinary work, in which my art becomes involved in other creative endeavours such as music, community development and independent research. Sparkling Isolation documents a major new addition to my creative life - ambient music production - whilst PaintUp with Kamamma presents an ongoing development project in South Africa, in which I travel to the community of Melkhoutfontein, Western Cape to paint murals on houses. Liminal Contact presents a series of experimental artworks to illustrate a monograph on painting which can be found via my Xibalba Books Publishing Imprint. Other artistic researches have included the creation of a complete and working fictional language, called Fernalese, and my series on Eleusis, a quest to uncover the secret behind the Elusinian Mysteries.
