I’ve been researching a lot on artists that use colour and compositions as a main in their work. The artist that has mainly influence me is Jules Olitski, and his skill in using colour, also Morris Louis, and his ability to manipulate paint and composition.
JULES OLITSKI – Born in 1922, Olitski was an American painter, printmaker and sculptor. Olitski focuses colour and how the surface can change the process of the colour. I really like the vibrant colours being used and the shapes also.
MORRIS LOUIS – Born in 1912. In the 1950s Louis became one of the earliest exponents of Colour Field. Louis spent a lot of I’m time in Baltimore and Washington D.C. I like how be moves the canvas to manipulate the paint, and the lines that are created in the process.
FRANK STELLA – Born 1936, Stella focuses on geometric lines and vibrant colours. I like the compositions that Stella uses and how he can make it look illusion like. Also the use of lines and how some lines can create a new direction.
