JAMES MELLOR

(b. 2000 Sheffield, UK)

James Mellor uses painting to express anxiety and fear, and vent negative emotions by applying projection; thereby significantly improving mood, and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. I see you is a self-portrait of the artist, painted with oil paints. The process of painting the portrait created feelings of calm and patience for the artist, and painting is a method they use for dropping stress levels exponentially. Painting relaxes the mind of the artist, enabling them to focus on other things, such as themselves, processing emotions, and releasing pain - like a therapy session.
