Mono Prints

When i made these prints, it was my first time ever doing this. I must say i was very confused at first and as shown in these 3 photos i still in need with a lot more practice. With my theme i found myself limited in the choices i could have had when printing. So out of practice i did these swirley lines . I found printing very amusing and exciting at first, but after a while i slowly began to become uninterested since it was the same process over and over again.

This one here to the left, was the same idea, but with 3 different colors  This took longer to do so because i had to roll it over with different colors.

Mix of Different lines

Above the black lines that was posted below i put different other layers of other colorful lines.If you look closely as well there are also purple drips. This piece here was a combination of everything that i have been working on lately. This artwork here to the left was painted on a very large white paper stuck onto the wall, a lot like the artists i have been looking at lately.I feel that this could have looked better, maybe if i had done a lot more other pieces similar to this.

Big black brush strokes

Moving from the thick ink lines, i went to bigger brush strokes. I used the white paint on black paper only to make it more noticeable. What i like about this piece to the left is that you can see the lines in the thick white brush strokes. I swerved the big brush around the whole page, using my whole arm. I think this piece looks intense yet soft at the same time.                                                                                             











With this one at the bottom, it was the same process as to the one above however i went across the page in a straight line. I thought this gave it an interesting effect only because it looks like the lines shown on a sliced piece of  wood. The different sizes of each of the lines here is clearly portrayed.

What i did here was the opposite of what i did to the first picture above. Instead of using white strokes i used black.

This here i was trying to form a different line form, making it swirley. However to my perspective i find this a lot less appealing than the other ones above.

Antonio Basso

                                                                    Antonio Basso




From the previous post below, i found an artist that resembles to the work i did with the ink and cling foil. The two have the same scratch lines, however this artist probably didn't use the same materiel i used .
I very much like the feeling these paintings give. I think this black one to the left is more intense than the other ones. The two blue ones at the bottom however are a lot more relaxing and soothing. I very much like how Antonio Basso expresses emotion into his paintings. Even though they are just scratched lines, they are very expressive.

Clear Foil and Ink lines

                                                                                                             

 What i did here was i stuck cling foil on paper and scratched it with ink lines. This was a very simple process, but i wanted to see how the ink lines can appear on cling foil. This piece what originally done on a larger piece of brown paper. In conclusion i thought i couldn't develop this any further, so i moved away from this .

Matthias Heiderich

After looking at Marcus Linnenbrink, i found this other artist that are both almost the same. They both use straight  colourful lines. The only the difference the two artists have is that Heiderich has a more architectural touch in his work. As shown below he gets the idea of painting top corners of the buildings. His lines are very straight, in any case i think that he computerizes his work to give it a perfect



<--- I find these colours here to the left  remind me of the logo of the spanish airline, Iberia.






Even though his work is very simple, much as the other artist i have been looking at , his use of his colours are exquisite.

After working with drips on the other page, i came across this artist that uses drips as well. I very much like his style as it strongly relates to my project. The use of his straight lines going horizontally and the drips going down i find is very interesting and appealing. Looking through all of his work, he paints straight colorful lines and mostly on walls. I enjoy how he uses drip thin lines in order to contrast from the straight thick line. I feel like his paintings portrays a person with two personalities, the strict side ( straight lines) and the relaxing side ( the dripping lines) making the two contrast intensely from each other.
