Throughout the beginning of this year I have been playing with shapes.
From swirls to hard edges, I constantly like to play with movement and
flow. The two pieces of artwork shown on the blog represent a series of
abstract movements and shapes that both
portray movement and different shapes. Besides playing with different
figures, playing with different materials as well has contributed to the
tone and mood that I am trying to get across to the viewer. By using
china markers, ink, waters colors, pens and
pencils, I am using a variety of materials that will hopefully
contribute to piece that is two dimensional in tone and mood. Later on,
I hope to utilize textures and different types of surfaces in order to
emphasize the message of the piece as well as enhance
the appeal to essentially make my pieces contain more depth.

I really like how you put geometry into your pieces it inspires me to experiment more with shapes.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is definitely a great start, but I think you should try to take a less literal approach to the still life as a whole. Maybe you could try repeating som of the forms you have here already. Also, I really like the idea of one accent color against a monochromatic piece, but I think you could push this a little more. I would recommend using different materials in order to create more tones and textures. Great work.
ReplyDeleteI really like the style of the second piece. It has many patterns that add onto one another in an interesting way. I would definitely keep going and push the patterns you've laid down for the foundation of the piece. It might be interesting to create a set of this type of drawing with different variations for each like maybe adding color or changing up the shape.

ReplyDeleteI like the red you used for the flowers in the still life. I think it adds a nice splash of color in the black and white scene. Are you planning on adding any more red accent anywhere? If you added a little bit more, I think that would add some more life and intensity to the scene.
ReplyDeleteAll of your pieces seem to have very strong geometry. I think it is most effective in your cubist painting because of the sharp lines and contrasts. Keep up the good work.
