As part of my research it was suggested to me to look into the works of 'systems art'. The work is very minimalistic and really captures my attention. I found it fascinating how by the 1960's art had moved from being life like to being more abstract, exactly the kind of work that I love to create! Minimalist artists argued that art no longer need to be constrained and instead experimented with colour, line, shape and pattern.
I in particular like the work of Frank Stella, his work really pushes the boundaries of artwork during the 60's and his personality and enthusiasim shines through in each peice he creates.
I especially like the colours of the peice above, they hold a very tranquil quality and express a sense of peace. something I want to explore within my future work.
I like the way the shapes just flow into each other with ease, and even though the work is abstract it somehow tells a story.
I wanted to create my own 'Systems Art' and so tried out a number of techniques which i think worked out really well. To everyone else my work just looks like line formations, but to me the work represtents the lines and journeys of the thousands of people that walk through picadilly gardens every single day.
