Non-Blended Impressionism Request review at WP:AFC
A style of art that captures aspects of a number of existing themes and contemporary styles to create an image without blending colours.

The term non-blended refers to the technique used in many mediums such as screen print, stencil art and wood block printing. Impressionism is a method of painting likenesses without directly attempting to reproduce the image at a direct representation level.

Discovered and pioneered by Australian artist Roy McPherson between 2000-2012, the genre was first presented at an exhibition held at the Block Arcade in Melbourne in 2012. The display was seen by an estimated 60,000 people.

After being asked for a title for the style of his work, McPherson was quoted as saying "it's a combination of a number of styles that are present today. Styles such as stencil and pop art come into it, but it's technically a non-blended form of Impressionism"

McPherson was again credited with pioneering Non-blended Impressionism at his open studio night in February 2013 Williamstown Star, February 2013
