About the Item
Reflex (8/14) is a unique acrylic on canvas, gloss finish painting by contemporary artist James Lumsden, dimensions are 120 × 120 cm (47.2 × 47.2).
The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
James Lumsden’s abstract paintings delve into the interplay of light, colour, and depth. His distinctive process involves applying and layering dozens of translucent coats of acrylic paint and gel gloss on canvas. Using specialized tools, he alternately conceals and reveals marks within each layer, gradually constructing a luminous and immersive sense of space. The result is a mysterious, captivating world that draws the viewer into its depths.
On the surface, traces and flows of colour appear to converge—yet they seem to emanate from within, embodying what the artist calls “an act of fixed movement.” Lumsden juxtaposes and fuses translucent, radiant hues, achieving subtle yet striking contrasts. This unique technique, balancing control and spontaneity, transforms the painted surface into a poetic field of emotion and resonance.
“I want to see something brought to life, struggled for, with a sense of having its own history, and reflective of the time spent on its creation. My aim is to create something positive and affirming which is filled with both light and darkness, contrasts, hesitations and contradictions – open paintings which allow the viewer’s imagination to search, wander or react at will,” says Lumsden.
The exhibition photographs were taken at Holly Johnson Gallery in Dallas.

James Lumsden’s abstract paintings seem to emanate an inner light and give the illusion of movement. His creative process involves superimposing dozens of thin layers of acrylic paint onto the canvas. Layer by layer, the artist succeeds in creating an illusion of depth and light within the painting, immersing the viewer in a mysterious and seductive universe. Translucent, vibrant colours are juxtaposed and blended to create delicate yet bold and contrasting combinations. The material support is thus transformed into a poetic work of art full of emotion. “I aim to make paintings which are luminous, seductive, sensual, and atmospheric. I am fascinated in how the basic materials innate to the medium can be turned into something poetic; an object filled with light, feeling, and emotion. The struggle lies in attempting to reach that stage.”
