Jaime McGlinn creates vibrant abstract paintings inspired by progressive house music

Jaime McGlinn is a Manchester-based contemporary artist and Ulster University Fine Art graduate who explores the profound intersection of visual media and electronic music. After a career in construction, the 2020 lockdown served as a catalyst for Jaime McGlinn to return to painting, specifically inspired by the Bedrock Bunker Series and the wider progressive house scene. This musical immersion led to the development of a unique style characterized by vibrant colors, experimental mark-making, and emotional depth. Jaime McGlinn frequently collaborates with prominent record labels such as Selador, The Soundgarden, and Music De Lune, working alongside world-renowned DJs like John Digweed, Nick Warren, and Dave Seaman. These collaborations influence the speculative futures and interdisciplinary narratives found within the artist’s work. The portfolio includes "The Lunar Collection" and diverse landscape series that time-stamp specific musical moments through titles or lyrics. Jaime McGlinn prioritizes spontaneity and rhythm, often dancing in the studio to capture the euphoria of the clubbing experience on canvas. By merging contemporary culture with traditional oil painting and mixed media, Jaime McGlinn offers viewers a sensory experience where sound and vision dance as one. The artist also provides bespoke commissions, working closely with clients to transform personal stories and favorite tracks into exclusive, handcrafted artworks.
