Introducing Cayman Artist Luelan Bodden

Cayman artist Luelan Bodden has earned himself a reputation for his striking and often controversial choice of subject matter, but there is no doubt that he is one of Cayman’s finest talents.
Producing fine art and sculptures covering an eclectic variety of themes, his work is visually stunning and has certainly placed Mr Bodden on the fringe, or, depending on your viewpoint, the cutting edge, of Caymanian art. Not one to shy away from topics often deemed “avant guard” such as sexuality, he is equally at home producing detailed sculptures of a more neutral nature such as his Blue Iguana project for the less sensitive of his viewers. Luelan has the true spirit of an artist, with a devil may care attitude when it comes to his work, believing strongly that art should evoke a reaction, an emotional response, in the viewer, and his audience are rarely disappointed on that score.
In this video, Luelan takes us on a quick tour of his own workshop and gallery and talks about several of his pieces, and the inspiration behind them. If you are unfamiliar with his work, this provides a great cross section of his talent and a nice personal commentary by the artist.
With the new gallery only a few weeks away from opening its doors to the public, Arteccentrix hopes to bring some of Mr Bodden’s finest work to visitors in the months ahead, although what he will allow us to show will probably remain a mystery to us until this elusive talent feels he has something to exhibit. Whatever it might be, you can be sure it will be worth seeing.
Please feel free to leave your comments and feedback below – we hope you enjoy meeting Luelan Bodden.
How to Paint with Acrylic Paint : How to Paint a Sky Using Acrylics
Every artist uses different techniques in their work and has their own preferences in terms of materials and tools but we thought we would from time to time publish some short videos explaining some different methods of achieving certain results and effects.
This video covers Painting the sky and clouds in acrylics. As anyone who has visited Cayman will know, we are blessed with some beautiful skies on a daily basis and the desire of artists to capture that perfect Cayman landscape or seascape will probably never go away. If you are new to working with acrylics, or indeed new to painting entirely, we hope the videos we publish here will help you master your own techniques as time goes by.
