centerespace exhibition - MOVEMENT 17th march -24th

by placing both of my finished works that will be used for centerespace exhibition MOVEMENT  i can observe from afar any disproportional areas that can be added or to improve on. this has  helped me get a good look from afar and see where i can brush up any areas that need be. this is not the final approach to these images i believe it requires more straight lines which will be fixed with masking tap to straighten any loose lines across the face and for the background.











 mirror mirror combinding realism and movement split personality down the middle of the painting so there is a sense of direction and movement within this painting

evaluation 00 David Hockney inspiration style self portrait

pretty cool right? just wait till this is a painting :)


this idea was to combine different sections of the facial form within one image a collection of photographs merged into one single image .I enjoyed creating a sequence of these types of paintings and trough digital media work it helps to construct the proportions and details into an effective outcome .Other ideas will include different perspectives and direction that resembles movement through static images.

Fine Art movement : I shall be looking at the POP ARTIST movement.

artist inspiration  Roy Lichtenstein,Andy Warhol,early David Hockney, 

Derek Boshier , Allen Jones,peter Phillips,Jasper Johns,  Robert Rauschenberg,Alex Katz,and also Julian Opie in the form of portraits.

the theme of our latest center space exhibition is all about  MOVEMENT 

 So I have chosen to do color through movement as an directional approach, where my use of brushstrokes are to be of simple linear directional movement .By using a mixture of different brightly colored pigments that will be whitewashed with acrylic primer, this will  make the choice of  colors that more vivid. The surface choice  that i will be using will be a3 sized MDF cuts of wood.hopefully throughout the project time i would have made a mass multiple amount of different processes such as  using collage,paper printing,printmaking,sheen collate,metal drawing, oils and acrylic painting on a range of surfaces like wood, canvas,paper,scrap.

For the digital portfolio and collating my works together i will  be making Photoshop sequences of my photography processes from the different portraits that i will be selecting throughout the project,i will be trying out different techniques similar to early David Hockney work where he would use a portrait photo and take pieces apart from the facial details, and then rearrange the sections back together so they then become a different kind of  photographic manipulation just like a  jigsaw puzzle.
I shall be adding more layers of colour on-top of the self portraits that i shall be  using as of  so far i have used photos that were created on the macs in the computer room, i used program "photo suite" and applied this pop art style layer which then creates a sequence of captured portraits by using two layers of colors that highlight the outlining details of the facial form, each snap then creates a sub layer that then gets placed around the outline of the portrait creating a fill in mixed coloring's .

Much of this project inspiration is taken from Julian opies BLUR album cover artwork where the four artists faces are positioned within a 4 panel portrait sequence.I have chosen to do a similar approach with adding the objects that appear from the front cover such as wearing glasses,headphones,hat and hoody.

that it :) 

a new approach! drawing media work
