More research :)
As i explained earlier i have been studying the work of Roy Lichtenstein and Georges-Pierre Seurat, but another artist i have also been researching on and influenced by is Piet Mondrian. I realised the work in which he has produced is very similar in what i am trying to achieve. Mondrian drew his abstract forms from landscape, reducing a picture to its bare essentials, by doing this we gain a spiritual experience unhampered by the associations with the natural world. He said “The truly modern artist is aware of abstraction in an emotion of beauty”.
I have done a couple of digital art pictures in a Mondrian style, all the work i produce i want to show my influences but also my own techniques and the subjects they represent are from my life experiences and relate to my identity. Here are the 2 pictures i created, both travelling pictures, one from Bali and one from London. I want to show how you can appreciate beautiful colours in a picture and turn these in to blocks to represent the whole picture.
This is a great way to create an abstract image with good results, our eyes and brain use the solid colours an shapes to construct the image into one we recognize.
