Referencing is really important: Loving these energy

Standard

With the proper researches that i did, i had a few references artist in mind. Mainly they are Jackson Pollock, Peter Foucault, Sol LeWitt, a little bit of Andy Warhol and Alexander Cozens.

Lets start with Jackson Pollock! Unrestricted lines! Curves! Strength! Flow! Action!

I remember one of his techniques was to use the Japanese paper, and making the ink seep through. Hence i increased the amount of ink used on the first sheet to create these. (i had 3 to four paper)

I really love this. The Energy that can be seem merely from these strokes. Powerful strokes (and splattered ink) in one direction

These are the works that i really like from Jackson Pollock. The depth and the movement that can be seen from these random lines. I will definitely try this.

i like these simple, flowly lazy looking lines

the splashes is definitely something that i will try to include within my creations

they look like cute little spirits dancing

 

Other than the very dense pieces like above, these were a series that caught my attention too! Its not very complicated but with this limited amount of strokes and splashes, the effect and emotion that is created is very impactful.

While reading the interviews found in “Jackson Pollock Works|Writing|Interviews”, i found something very useful.

It is regarding the technique he uses to create some of this art.

The way different papers work is something that I need to considered too.

The sentence he said that hit me really hard.And something that i feel that we should consider about.
