In the work James Tytykal (1984) one can trace the inspiration of classical modernism. Fragmented creatures, still lifes, landscapes and, more recently, urban scenes are reminiscent of Cubism in their compositional structure and reduced colour palette. In contrast to the Cubist emphasis on the act of seeing and the problem of representation, however, Tytykalo turns to the imagination: he models matter in his paintings with an emphasis on its imaginative potential. Tytykalo's combination of acrylic and spray paint inventively merges classical figurative painting with the lightness and exaggeration of street art.
