Inspired by Chen Yingjie

Using drawings from my life drawing I have tried to create something similar to Chen Yingjie's work with the splatters and controlled lines. I haven't used colour as I wasn't feeling that confident but I feel that the black and grey has worked well. I have used ink for these to paintings and I enjoyed doing these but to prefect theses more I would need to practice the technique more and maybe try and use pens similar to what Chen uses.

I haven't managed to create the image that I expected but that would come after lots of practice but as an attempt it has worked well. 

Shane Turner

Shane is a Canadian artist. His art ranger from abstract art to surrealistic pop art that is bright and colourful. Shane's work is influenced by graffiti, music, street art and pop art, also comics which allows him to create his modern art.

Shane has created some pieces of work that can relate to Adam Martinakias with using human figures to create and become the artwork although these are not real human figures.

 

 

These 2 are black and white prints that have been coloured using different materials.

 

Chen Yingjie

Chen Yingjie aka Hua Tunan

            He is a Chinese street artist who also mixes in traditional Chinese are work with it. Here are some examples of his spatter pieces of art work that I particularly love as their rather messy but controlled, the technique creates unique images.

This is a video of how he works. Small Scale

 

Large scale Street art.

 

 

Inspired by Art Wolfe

I have chosen to try out Wolfe's style of painting people as 2D art on paper using paints. Using one of the drawing from my life drawing I have turned it into a silhouette and have done a few experiments that have come out better than I expected.

 This one of based on Wolfe's image where there is a little girl with stood to the right of the image with similar patterns on.

This is half of an image and this is done by using the same drawing from my life drawing and I have cut it out of the sheet and painted what was left black and covered it with white hand prints.

This is the cut out from the image above but has a white background with a black silhouette with the opposite colour as the hands. These 2 make one piece of work as it shows the contract but shows it works equally as good both ways.

Inspired by Art Wolfe

I decided I wanted to try and create something similar to Wolfe's abstract art, the only problem is I don't have a sheet to paint as a back ground or a lot of volunteer to paint so I will have to make do.

I struggled getting the white to stay white as the face paint was water based and the white turned grey, overall I feel as a first attempt it has worked well. Also this would be rather easy to do in a bigger scale.

Art Wolfe - Human Canvas

I love how Wolfe manages to create an image using people and in some of his art work he has managed to make his work into an illusion as he makes paints people so that they blend into his background.

My Drawing - Adam Markinakias

Using this research of Adam Markinakias I have tried capturing a similar effect but on paper. Here are the images I have drawn in my life drawing sessions.

Adam Martinakias

Adam Martinakias does a lot of digital artwork from his sculptures.

This is called 'The Remains of a Memory'

 

 

This is called 'It doesn't matter which skin colour you wear, everyone can become a mummy! - LOVE MUMMIES'

're(al)creation of Adam'

 

This is one of Adam Martinakias' 3D environments. I love how Adam creates these figures that look like they have been made from roots. Also I find it amazing how the sculptures are see though, it isn't a solid object(s).
