Since art cannot be taught beyond the essentials, he would advise aspiring artists to “let process and intuition guide you, and you may find you are more original than you thought.” The artist confirmed he has projects in the pipeline. “I am also psychologically preparing myself for another ‘Metropolis’ painting, which I know will take it out of me.” Locke’s mesmerising works can be seen at the Ec- lectic Gallery in London’s Newman Street and on the artist’s and gallery’s websites. https://caiolocke.com Images courtesy of Eclectic Gallery Mirage Stratosphere Lotus Land
