lyrical abstraction







Wassily Kandinsky Composition VIII

len Lye also does some cool motion imagery, this is a screen shot of my work on the left with Leny Lye's on the right.
He work a lot with kinetic sculpture and analogue film. One work of his I find really interesting is 'Particles in Space' where he scratches the film which runs through the projector.

and some more

Here was another 3D series of drawing (very abstract) which I recorded in motion. Still playing around with ultra nerd software

The drawing begins







This was my first time playing on 3D max for a couple of years, i knew a few tools but that was it, I was hoping my naivity would produce something radical.....yeah haha.
Anyway these images were the first few that came out, kinda interesting in a wierd sort of way, simple shapes with images of Port Otago wrapped on them.

Influences

Kurt Adams works

William Kentridge

Project drawing begins

I have slowly been gaining momentum into this project. Getting a stating point was difficult but I have begun with an artist who I think is shit hot-Kurt Adams. I was drawn to his work by his still images which appeared like charcoal drawings. He and William Kentridge's work are similar is monotone and motion, but one has the hand evident in the work and the other via a computer.

Both I feel are two great examples of modern drawing, relevant to the project.
