I found this project to be interesting in that you become much more keen on identifying an artist's particular style when trying to replicate, and all their work just becomes much more interesting. For my rendition, I wanted to take into account the abstracted sexual imagery and the decorative swirls found in the paintings. I added dry brush dabs onto the canvas the replicate those found in "Male an Female", as well as using mathematical calculations to show man. Quick and rough brush strokes, especially with outlines, are also apparent in his early paintings, so I attempted to replicate that as well. In regards to sexual imagery in my painting, breasts can be identified, as well as a vulva where the larger pear is in the original Marilyn piece by Flack. Roundness and curviness is also applied throughout the piece to hint at the female body figure.
Overall I am content with the outcome. I feel I have captured Pollock's early style fairly accurately. Leave a Reply. |
