Painting – Jackson Pollock

Painting (a technique I want to look into)

Jackson Pollock was an expressionist artists who lived in America. within this movement he worked very closely to abstract. (1912-1956)

These works are very colourful with burst of different vibrant colours. This really gives off the idea of how emotionally he could feel. For example the one of the left could be seen as more happy due to the idea of the yellow being a prime colour within this piece and on the other side you have a more dull and black and white look. This gives me the feeling that he was more natural and now really happy.

These are some of the images that really do inspire me. Within the drawing class, doing the massive paintings (I did a person in black and white) i really likes letting go and wanting to work in a loser style that was also a lot bigger than my comfort zone of A4.

From this i am going to use his style of dripping dragging and splashing paint on to the paper and see what I can make from this. I want to make a lot more than one so i can experiment with them

  • by painting objects onto them where i think they would fit.
  • collaging them
  • moving the paint to make an image with on it.
  • using the splatted paint to create an image.

This is some of the things that I want to try out within this part of the project. I want to see what works best and what I like.
