So, why abstracts?
The answer is simple, if perhaps a bit goofy.
I'm going to be working on abstracts (concurrently with my narrative work) because I have an idea that doing so will make my narrative work better.
After having had (IMO) two or three breakthroughs in my work over the last 18 months, I have stalled out. I need to find a way to push through, to, as is my wont, improve the work, get better - and I think this is the way to do it.
Along with a self-directed course of study in abstract art "masters", composing abstract work will, I hope, enable me to see differently, more clearly, allow my brain to expand so my work will grow.
That's the plan, anyway!

I'm intrigued by your idea that working in the abstract will make your representational work better. I keep thinking that forcing myself to do something abstract would improve my composition skills (an ongoing struggle) but I never know where to start. I like this piece, the varying weights of each element provide nice contrast!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like an excellent plan!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan and I will be anxiously watching (and learning)
ReplyDeleteGood thinking...looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting plan. I'm off to a group meeting on Monday where we are working on abstracts so, hopefully, it will start to lead me down the right path. Yours here has a really organic feel about it.
