About Jamie Cullen
Cullen was born in west London and lived by the Thames most of his
life. In 2000 he graduated from the Brighton University and has
remained in Brighton, where he works from his studio in the trendy
North Lanes area.
Cullen works with several subjects including politics, nature, fashion
and architecture. One thing is evident: Cullen works with emotion.
His glossy, candy-like landscapes are fields of hidden messages.
Royal battles are played out. Lovers embrace under melting tree
lines. Observing closely to nature and the space that it demands.
Blank open spaces inhabited by pastel flowers and vines play with
images of people floating. Imagine sixties psychedelic poster works
by Rick Griffin and Wes Wilson, mash it up with Victorian decadence
and turn of the century Art Nouveau. Although appearing random and
chaotic, a lot of thought and process goes into each piece.
Cullen’s understanding of design and approach in execution
as an artist has landed him some big gigs in Europe and America.
Some of his clients include ATTIC, ELLE, NIKE, GQ, CREAM, COSMOPOLITAN,
ROLLING STONE, TIME OUT, and several national papers in the UK.
This collection has come from Saatchi and Saatchi offices in New
York City.
