Jocelyn Arnold
Jocelyn Arnold is in his final year studying painting at Edinburgh College of Art.
His practice revolves around observation: the collecting of fragments of lived experience including memories, conversations, and dreams provides a starting point from which to create. Arnold’s finished work, often taking the form of large-scale paintings or handmade books, is deeply personal yet ambiguous; a metaphorical collage united by consistent themes of loneliness, yearning, queerness and nostalgia. Jocelyn is motivated by the desire to create space for honesty, empathy, reflection, and quietness in his work in the hope that others feel touched and seen.
