“…Mylne lightens up in his newest JRM Desktop series, mining longtime influences such as graffiti art, architecture and eastern spiritualism which he hadn’t often exploited. “I think it’s not the artwork that is of value but the artist in the artwork. The artist’s spirit, thoughts, concerns have to shine through the work.” Here he mixes them all up, along with his mixing of mediums. In JRM Desktop 6 (2015, pictured), fine ballpoint rendering and linear depictions of Big Ben and Japanese woodblock imagery are interspersed between smears and speckles of acrylic, gouache, spray and pen paints. Mylne describes them as “organic works ” of “playful expression “, adding that they’re “a nice break from the rigorously detailed portraits”・– Orlando Lebron, as written on theballpointer.com
