One artist that I’ve been looking into is Pia Fries. A lot of her work consists of thick layers of paint and negative space. She also uses watercolour and sharp quick brushstrokes. When it comes to colour Pia uses vibrant, contrasting colours. With the backgrounds of her work being white her work is very eye-catching. She has also used collage and it can sometimes seem like a painting, I would like to try and create collages that seem like paintings. I like how she uses negative space and the loose patterns in her work. The sharp brush strokes with thick layers of paint create depth and texture. When experimenting with my work, especially with acrylic I try to thick of Pia Fries, especially with her use of negative space.
