This is a piece, that I am producing in my Shared Drive Project. I have chosen this piece as it something, Iāve began to discover as Iāve recently been interested in painting in the form of abstract. This is very unusual for me as Iāve always been told to paint in realism and portraiture. Iāve started coming out my comfort zone. I am starting to understand abstract expressionism and I want to explore it further. I feel this style it easier for me to emote my feelings into my artwork from personal issues. Iāve also stopped bothering about unfinished pieces because when the story or meaning is being disrupted, it allows the audience to assume what they want. It makes the audience fill in the gaps. Looking at Jasper Johnsā gestural brush strokes and Anselm Kieferās sorrow and use of colour have been my inspirations.
