Drawing Statement (so far…)

Continuing on from the ‘journey’ project, I wanted to look at making things appear different to the viewer. I started looking at disjointed art work, and it inspired me to cut up my own drawings and then use them to create other paintings. I started looking at artists such as Eric Olsen, who did a series on paintings on a block coloured background and then painted the faces in separate thick strokes. Sometimes you couldn’t make out the face, but by the shape you could tell it’s a portrait. I want to be able to create something similar with my own work. Another artist I also looked at is Andy Denzler, he’s paintings are almost like distorted photographs, he uses different textures and blurs to do this. To progress I want to take more photographs to draw from and paint/draw from the experiments I have created so far.
