Paint
I’ve been re-visiting stuff I did at HKU between 2006 and 2009. A trip down memory lane – found that there is not a lot I’d want to keep or show. Dont’ think really understood what art was about in those days – not sure I know even now.
Pic is a portrait I did in 2007 – photoshop, not paint. I hate paint, it’s messy stuff. What I like about digital is the way you can go backwards and forwards, undo and redo. And paintings are so flat – though I understand that the idea is to evoke a three-dimensional space. With so much three-dimensional space around, why bother?
Saw a painting by Annemiek Vera – she was one of my teachers at HKU, and a good one - that forcibly reminded me of my portrait – only she likes to paint.
I thought it was going to be some boring old post, but it really compensated for my time. I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful.
Hello! I just would like to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you have here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.
You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.
………..In the element of space includes positive and negative space as well as two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. Effective use of illusion gives two-dimensional works a three-dimensional appearance.
Don’t quite get what you mean by positive and negative space. The illusion thing I get – my point is: why bother? There is just such a lot of space that is already three-dimensional that we can work with….
