Roundism – 29-05-17

Pastel Version

A pastel version of the graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 26-05-17 (sold)‘. I used the primary colours red, yellow and blue to honor ‘De Stijl‘, a dutch art movement that celebrates its 100 birthday this year. Mondriaan was all about moving about planes and lines in his ever search for the perfect composition. I think I will work out the previously described principle of singularity in works to come. By singularity I mean that curves approach straight lines or planes without ever touching them.

Most Abstract

Compared to previous works I think this pastel is of o the best abstract art works I made up to now. Whereas the graphite pencil drawing still is a little bit wonky with regard to styling and even anatomy, this one reflects my vision on styling, right use of tonal values and color abstraction perfectly.
