BLOG October 12
I have been looking at the work of
architects and have found an interest in extracting ideas from their
ideas. I have a number of books which show architectural work. Plans,
buildings, lighting, and work artists have made to be included in
the design either in the interiors or on or around exteriors
Jean Nouvel's Belfort Theatre provided
the inspiration for my work on the right. I could see two wonderful
curves in a picture showing the interior of the theatre, lit by light
from the stage, the rest of the theatre just disappeared for me.
The colour came from the image , but I
tried doing this in different colour ways but I kept coming back to
the black background, I tried matt black board paint as well as
acrylic paint. Initially I was disappointed with the way I had
applied the background , it became thick and treacly, the brush
strokes got thicker. So I started sanding down, again and yet again,
then I realised that the curves were not right.
Once again the process of sanding down
and re marking and re doing the curves took place and I had a very
over worked piece to present.
The colours used were right, as a piece
of work I prefer the left hand image with the chalk markings, for me
the alteration has greater interest than that which I presented but
I am also aware that I am still unhappy with the curves in the
finished image -above on the right, and I think I should return to
this work armed with better knowledge and re do it.
