Julian Tevelyan

I came across Trevelyan who was interested in Surrealism. Influenced by Klee and encouraged by his friendship with Miró and Calder, he gradually developed his own mode of abstract Surrealism. In A Symposium, the image above, Trevelyan combined painting and carving and attached parts to the wooden panel. He later recalled: ‘I had invented a sort of mythology of cities, of fragile structures carrying here and there a few waif-like inhabitants.’ Simple but full of interesting parts and delicate looking. Might try to look at more ideas created by him to see if it can inspire me more in future projects.
