"Tempo Is a response to the energy and vibrancy i feel when enjoying the sounds of music. Music is ingrained in so many parts of our lives, as I recognize it as the easiest of the arts to digest. It is constantly played with videos on our phones, out of our tv's and all the time in between. Music is somewhat an obsession for most people, especially myself. It drives me and fuels my work to the point that It's almost inescapable."
- Jameel Radcliffe

Artist Statement:
I was taught to see all painting as abstract, whether I'm working with recognizable imagery or not. The work strays towards what I consider to be “pure” abstraction, where there's little to no recognizable imagery, but instead is a field of impasto marks and bright moments of color. Working with mixed media broadens opportunities for me to be more flexible with my work, as I am able to bounce between using paint, collage and drawing elements in my Pieces.
It’s very important to me that I paint almost instinctively, trying to remove the burden of whatever insecurities or self doubt comes with finishing and showing work. This painting is a product of that idea. As a child, I can remember sitting on the beach with my fingers in the sand. I wasn't making anything to impress or shock, there was no goal. I was just there, and I did it because I could.
