Distinctively contemporary in his work, artist Glen Josselsohn’s signature art style
offers the perfect solution to complement a modern and chic room design.
There’s nothing quite like art to give a room a character of its own. If the
décor is the room’s attire, the paintings on the walls are definitely its
attitude!
f there was ever a good example of this analogy, it’s the work of contemporary artist,
Glen Josselsohn. Not only does his art buzz with energy and movement, but it opens up the
imagination, engages the senses and ignites a sense of curiosity within the viewer. What
really is going on between those lines and squiggles, those figures leaping off the canvas?
“The way I paint is unique,” Glen says of his work. “The last person who
had a similar style was Jackson Pollock. I’ve been using and experimenting with the drip
technique for ten years now, and I feel like I have developed a signature style. It’s
interesting, and it’s contemporary!
It’s definitely sparked an interest within the hospitality industry. Last year,
Johannesburg boutique hotel, Marion on Nicol, commissioned Glen to do over 30 paintings for
the establishment, creating a contemporary feel throughout this chic property. According to
Glen, the hospitality industry is a perfect platform for his art, as he is able to create work
in large volumes, at affordable rates. As for the content and the style, it’s timeless
and appeals to most – characteristics that hospitality establishments would do well to
keep in mind when investing in pieces that will form part of their identity for years to come.
The Radisson Platinum gym is another buyer of his work, the movement and energy on his
canvases being suitably appropriate for the nature of the establishment. Glen has also been
featured on Top Billing Magazine Program and also in many Magazines including Garden And Home,
Habitat, House And Leisure, to name a few.
Looking forward, Glen’s main goal is to keep doing what he does best: painting. With
the intention to promote his work more in Europe and to build and develop his technique even
further, life is certainly bound to be exciting. Watch this space – he’s sure to
create more than a splash within the art circles. You never know – one of these vibrant
wall adornments may just be the je ne se quoi in your hotel lobby!
