I didn't have such a great start to this week. I'd sort of burnt myself out a little and my work was fairly lacking. I'd been working a lot of the time most days, thinking it was the only way to make progress, and obviously it didn't work out so great. I think Futures suffered the most, because what should have been an easy, fun, smoothly flowing project seemed to be a confusing, rigid, bumbling mess. I just couldn't properly get into it.
Thankfully, Bev helped me approach it the way I should have, and now that I'm trying again it seems to be flowing much better.
I mainly wanted to write this post to show some art I found that really captures the point I wanted to make about colours and emotions. Some art seems to be a bit cryptic, like it doesn't really speak to me in the way I think the artist intended, but looking at this just seems like it would be evocative to anyone. It's very stunning and seems to have an almost nostalgic beauty about it, like the way one might perceive a memory.
Here is some of Leonid Afremov's work.
Lovely expressionistic colour and would make for an interesting colourful backdrop along the line?
ReplyDeleteQuestion is how has imagery like this proved itself popular in variuos guises over time?
Look at expressionists, Fauvists, David Hockney, Van Gogh etc
