What is your point(illism)?

Greetings to you all! Today we are bringing you some more fresh art from the studio. This time we are featuring some small pieces by James C E Lightle.

Using bright coloured oil markers, James applied small strokes and dots of paint to the surface of wood panels and canvas to create compositions that from a distance visually blend together into beautiful shoreline scenes.

This technique in painting is called pointillism or divisionism and another term for it is called chromo-luminarism. The technique is associated with its inventor, Georges Seurat, and his student, Paul Signac, who both espoused Neo-Impressionism, a movement that flourished from the late 1880s to the first decade of the 20th century (https://www.britannica.com/art/pointillism).
