Kilford - The Music Painter

The Story - Painting Live Music - Painting Singles - Music Sketches - Stuff

Think John Galliano meets Kandinsky and Jackson Pollock on stage during pinball wizard at Woodstock. Then add paint and a huge canvas, that’s Kilford - The Music Painter.

Kilford’s paintings are created live alongside musicians during their performances, or in his studio where he paints individual tracks from recordings or is visited by the musicians who perform as he paints.

“When I feel the music I see colours, it’s very simple. I believe this to be an unconditioned visualisation of musical consciousness. During the creation of the paintings, I become what I can only describe as a conduit between music and paint, I make no cognitive decisions, all that exists is absolute colour."

Kilford is 32 and based in London.
