Art :.
Arlo’s use of mixed media encompasses texture and vibrant colour. It is true to say that his works have been largely inspired by his childhood in the Middle East and his great interest in music. His colours tend to be (as Arlo himself would say) very potent, pure and natural. One only has to look at the traditional arts and crafts of ethnic cultures to understand where his fondness for such bold colours comes from. This is also true for the breathtaking landscapes which are symbolized by the textures he creates using a wide range of materials from wax to sand and glue to hessian. Arlo uses these textures in combination with bold colours to pronounce as great a visual experience as possible. This visual experience, coupled with the deeply emotional meaning behind his paintings, (stemming from his unique upbringing), give Arlo’s artwork a very original and special style.
