About the Item
Point Series Study (3/22) is a unique acrylic on canvas, matt finish painting by contemporary artist James Lumsden, dimensions are 20 × 20 cm (7.9 × 7.9).
The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
James Lumsden’s abstract paintings investigate the interplay of light, color, and depth. His meticulous process involves applying and layering dozens of translucent coats of acrylic paint and gel gloss, each one manipulated with precision tools to reveal or obscure traces beneath the surface. Through this gradual, meditative accumulation, Lumsden constructs luminous compositions that appear to emit light from within, drawing the viewer into a contemplative, almost hypnotic visual space.
On the surface, traces and chromatic marks converge, yet they seem to emerge from deep inside the canvas—what the artist describes as “an act of fixed movement.” Translucent and vibrant tones are juxtaposed and blended, producing delicate yet assertive contrasts. In this careful balance between control and spontaneity, Lumsden transforms the material surface into a poetic field of emotion and light.
As the artist explains:
“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—filled with both light and darkness, contrasts, hesitations, and contradictions—open paintings that invite the viewer’s imagination to search, wander, and respond freely.”

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.”
