Jim Konor de La Manche Stoneking MacLuckie is an artist with studio based in Brighton UK. Working from the memories and messages left by late Pop-Art movement, he wants to break through tradition and fashions and to work with multiple interesting themes and inspirations which includes the supernatural, the gothic, realism, erotica, spirituality, mystery, pulp-art, street art, grafitti, portraiture, architecture and magic.
The foundation of his excentric style comes from his early art experiments with surrealist ink-drawings and sci-fi fantasy illustrations done at the 90’s while at Architecture school. At the same period came a strong interest in French psychodelic Bande-Dessines and also in the romantics and surrealist artists. From this early period comes the characteristic feature of his paintings: The depiction of the human figure, The creation of characters and a passion for portraiture and human physiognomy.
Always working with attention to detail and precision in order to challenge visually the viewer, his paintings ideas always start at the pages of his sketchbooks. He creates exclusively using acrylics on canvas.
Jim Konor is also a comic-book creator and songwriter, having published so far two graphic novel series “The Lost Adventures of Baron Buckman” and “The Baltic Caper”.
