Mercedes Lagunas is a Spanish painter. She lives and works in Madrid but her paintings look as if they’re a rare piece of folk art found somewhere deep in the American South. Love how it all comes together in her colorful, vibrant work.

Q: What was the impetus for creating the “FEAR” series?

A: The series of drawings were a response to an exhibition that was put on by Clinic Collective in London a while back. Rather than picking random ideas out of the air, I wanted to focus on something personal to me, I have always been a man of many allergies and I figured that if all of my three worst allergies, pollen, chlorine and cat fur were to sneak up on me all at once it would most definitely be the end of me. I also used subtle colours in the piece’s to connote the featherlight qualities of each of the substances.

Q: It seems like your storyline has changed in your most recent work, what’s new?

A: I always want to be pushing my work further and trying out new things, I kind of want to be able to apply myself to any brief, and I enjoy the challenge of working on a new project that I have never experienced before. I think that when I first produced the Sky Larkin ‘Kaleide’ album art, I discovered new ways in which I could create an environment which in this case was inspired by kaleidoscope imagery, it was one of those rare ‘eureka!’ moments in my career so far. After that commission I went on to produce a personal project titled ‘Behind the Scenes and Everything else Inbetween’ within the last few weeks of University that illustrates the process of film making  and contains references to some of my favourite films and movie characters. I feel that my newest work still contains a similar aesthetic to my older work, however I am now more confident with my direction in image-making.

Q: Do you remember the first drawing you made as a kid?

A: I don’t actually know, although my parents always said that the best way to keep me and my brother quiet as children, was to give us some paper and crayons and sit us down for a while. We would then most likely come back with illustrated ‘pipe dream’ Super Mario worlds, and badly drawn Sonic the Hedgehog characters.

Check out some of Jack’s work after the jump!

Every Wednesday we sit down (briefly) with a talented artist + ask them 3 questions.

If you’re an artist + you’d like to be grilled, email me at questions@hardfeelingsblog.com
