Sometimes it takes an unusual perspective to be able to produce great art. In any case, lateral entrants to art are often successful by breaking through stylistic constraints and giving free rein to creativity. This also applies to the British artist Lincoln Seligman. After his studies, he first worked as a lawyer and then decided to follow his heart and dedicate himself to the fine arts.
Seligman received international attention with his large-format sculptures, which he often created in the form of hanging mobiles. The British artist often worked on commission, so that many of his works can be found today in the foyers of well-known companies. Particularly famous is his glass sculpture, the largest in the world, which decorates the interior of Swire's Festival Walk in Hong Kong.
After Seligman had made a name for himself in the art world in this way, he turned from then on primarily to painting. His paintings are mainly inspired by his travels. Evidence of impressions from different regions of the world, mainly Europe and Asia, can be found in many of his works. Through Seligman's play with structures, colours and perspectives, seemingly everyday scenes and objects are put into a new light and transformed into impressive works of art.
