I've been really busy all this week, just trying to prepare more work before our assessments, and during this week, I found many new artists which are definitely helping me a lot with my project, so here's a couple of them:
Tomma Abts
Mehm
2005
Acrylic and oil on canvas
19 x 15 inches, 48 x 38 cm
Tomma Abts creates these paintings filled with lines that create geometric shapes, and these overlapping lines create a great sense of depth among the flat background. The shapes created are almost three-dimensional, and as the viewer looks at it, we can immediately make presumptions on which shapes are standing out in the front, and what shapes are being overlapped behind. Abts is a great source of inspiration for me in terms of how I can approach painting into my work.
Thomas Heatherwick
Angel's Wings
2004
Sculpture
11 meters high
Heatherwick created this pair of metal sculptures to act as a cooling vent for a London Electricity substation. He experimented with combining isosceles triangles to form this complex, geometric form which catches light beautifully. The shape of these structures is like scoring and folding paper, which I am currently working with, and so these structures helps me think of new ways to score and fold paper to catch the different tones of light which creates these geometric shapes.
The amount of artists which I have found recently are a enormous help, which is great. I've got to sort out which is my strongest pieces of my work for my assessment which will be talked about on Monday, and I also have to finish off my CCS Seminar Notebook for Monday, so I guess I'm a bit busy this weekend!
But, that's enough from me for now, see you guys soon!
