Graeme Gerard Halliday aka HALLIDONTO

Graeme Gerard Halliday AKA Hallidonto, is a Scottish artist/film editor. From Dundee on the east coast of Scotland, residing in London, . My work has a eclectic mixture of applications: Drawing,sculpture,conceptual (books), installation,Performance, collaborations with other artists, writers. Art is my life, it\'s a state of mind, this is what I was made to do, corny maybe, but it\'s the truth, I have been ducking, diving and hustling to make my Art, to follow my path. Trying to keep the wolves away and be free to create, I am the cyborg profit scroll down and you will see! A child of the eighties is the prototype for the New Flesh. They are the children of the digital age, children of the first generation cyborg. The body had transformed. Post-modernism had introduced a new era in art. Computers, television, cartoons and comics became my own, and my realm to explore and inhabit. I was drowned in images of cyborgs, super heroes and machines in the land of the hyper real. The cyborg became my own, I identified with the concept of such a being and has become the essence of my work to date. My drawing/ painted works are then created using a continuous line, then worked into to add flesh, the images that created are cyborgs, Graeme’s fascination with them since his childhood. And the body’s dystopian descent into the word of hyper-real. My drawings have a classical style, but flow in a expressively twisted dystopian vision.
