| Big Deal 2010, Ink on paper. 59cm x 79cm |
I have hidden need to make things that reference "art history" or more specifically what I remember being a big deal from art history lectures. I am not entirely sure if this is always apparent or if it is just some inside joke only I am laughing at. My schooling taught me Giotto to Cezanne, which is "absolutely ages ago to really long time ago European art". When I got to college, everything outside of this intrigued me and, I think, played a huge part in my practical understanding of contemporary art.
This is (a little something I whipped up earlier which is) one of those things that references art history. Hokusai, The Big Wave of Kanagawa is one of the first things I remember of non Western Art that was a big deal. The lecturer was talking about how this asymmetrical composition influenced Western art as asymmetry was a somewhat new idea.
I think Art is ever changing because society is ever changing and what was once relevant becomes irrelevant and vice versa. And so I painted the wave bang on in the centre.
Rule of thirds f-u.
