Duggie Fields

Made exclusively for JAM

When JAM's new arts and culture editor, Amanda Quinn Olivar, asked Duggie Fields to comment on our featured Kandinsky quote, the above artwork was his response...he created it just for JAM and we can't get enough of it. We thought it deserved its own place in our day with Living Coral.

"Color is the power which directly influences the soul." - Wassily Kandinsky

Fields graduated in 1968 from Chelsea School of Art, London and at the end of that year moved into the Earls Court apartment and studio that he lives in today. As a student his work moved from Minimal, Conceptual and Constructivist phases before arriving at a more hard-edge post-Pop figuration. Fields’ body of work is marked by a distinct signature style self-described since the mid 1990s – MAXIMALism – marrying imagery from classical and popular culture along with art history which is cyclically reused and repurposed within his painted canvases and intrinsically tied to his home of the past 50 years.
