Set Project: 3D Research + Brainstorm

I did some research regarding 3D outcome for the set project.

I attaching also a sketchbook page with the Brainstorm process.

I have pondered artists from the Primitivism circle. However, they purely took inspiration from African masks. I found one exception so far. It is a relief on the wood stroke made by Gauguin. Frankly, I took it from the recently expanded movie about his biography. This idea I included in my sketch. I would need to change the surface because I do not have experience with the chisel. Therefore, considering the time given, I could not manage to finish it on time.

The other idea, which some pieces of information I concluded in an earlier post, is a bust in the cubist spirit. But then, I do need to know the subject for the bust.

My researches ended on Verner Panton furniture and his home designs. Undoubtfully, he has a great influent on the late XX century art. futuristic movement. His designs were recognisable in the period of the 60s and 70s. Which creates a part of psychedelic culture and my subject of matter. 

Verner Panton, Visiona II Exhibition for Bayer, 1970

According to Panton's explanation about his style “Most people spend their lives in boring, grey-beige comfort, deadly afraid of using any colors,” (Panton, n.d). He put a lot of experimentation forms not limiting to the colour ranges, described as exotic and vibrant. He formated a new technology without imagination barrier for people like he said ''in order to make their surrounding more exciting.''
The most interesting value I found is no extension in shapes. The structures of his designs are provoking me as well to include them in my project. Nevertheless, the main reason why I chose this subject, is the close relation to the late 60s albums. In those times, this theme was mostly repeating. Due to drug use and hippie movements, this art period was unlimited. The perfect example is in the picture above. Summing up those points, ''Panton found deep meaning in color and in plastic he found a medium to create immersive and powerful statements that showcased the color’s message'' (Dicken, 2021). Therefore, following this statement, I will give greater attention to the colours. Usually, I have a problem with painting the sculpture because I find it not necessary. I believe that during this task I will breakthrough that fear.
Furthermore, Panton's patterns were strictly connected to the late 60s prints. He created a stylish, colour gradience (palette) with waving effect. Which definetely will have a significant part in my 2D series.

I drew some characteristic shapes in the middle chart. I reckon that would be useful in further steps in creating the shape. 
I wondering if I could use thick paper or flattered clay shapes to create a 3D object. Still, by writing this I mean the connection with Panton's design. 
I found also a sculpture from the Primitivism period. Where I think features all mentioned points. It also in some way is flattered and catching facial features. What is most important, is aesthetic. Unfortunately, I cannot specify the name of the artist. On the website, I saw this title. The sculpture is from Gabon, Africa, dated in the 19th century.

Moreover, it is a simplified interpretation. Therefore, I would like to conclude it in my sketchbook as well. 
Concasing the main inspirations for the 3D outcome, I will use:
Picasso 
Paul Gauguin
African masks 
Verner Panton
I only need to develop those ideas in the sketchbook. However, I expect the final results after a 2D series.

    If you run with the idea of creating a narrative based on Sgt Peppers, you could combine that idea - Primitivist influenced characters with the aesthetic of something like Yellow Submarine - there are comparisons - the use of colour, the curved lines, the exaggeration of figures, the fantastical and simplistic backgrounds.

Set Project: The exact reason why and sketches

 I have not straightened why I chose to illustrate the lyrics. As you may have noticed, I know quite a lot about music from the last century and always dreamed about the connection with visual art. Especially in this case, when the album is laid out as a story. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity I intend to make something familiar using illustration. You see, songs have a lyric - a story. And I want to share with those, by giving my version. In fact, Primitivism is related to the 60s pop culture and the insights I will publish gradually. The album that I chose is unique in terms of the tracklist.  Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band  has no gaps between tracks. Therefore they made an album that sounds like one continuous song. ''Highly debated it is considered as a one of the first concept album'' (The HollyHobs, 2020). Some of the songs had been established according to the newspapers headers/stories.  The reasons why I chose this relation to the theme ...

Set Project: Sketches and coming back to the first plan

In the last days, I concluded that I should focus on the reasons why I choose this topic and the style of this project. I think I started to be weak and not sure what I want to do. I think the reason is in a large number of researches. Same with techniques and artists to look at. I summarise that I am not capable to mix various inspirations at once. I came back to my first inspiration Anto van Hertbruggen. Because I always wanted to make art like that, no matter what's it gonna take. Here I will discuss the elements which I want to use to combine this pice in one. Here is the whole work with the background. As I mentioned before, I looked at how Anton work on his illustrations. He usually filling few sheets in drawings (as layers for one illustration).  First, I found a great view on google maps. I am interested in the territories of Canada and the northern landscape. The place is in Northwest Territories, in Yellowknife.  click I sketch this place on two sheets of paper. Then...

Welcome to my blog!

Tell me something about yourself:  I am a young artist studying IYZ Art&Design with Graphic Design BA, in De Montfort University. Live in the Leicester city centre. My pathway started since I have been influenced by a close family by Claude Monet’s works. Paintings made by my uncle’s hands were great copies. Those pieces of art have been surrounding me still. I have been studying at Art School in Bydgoszcz, were I gain helpful skills and workshop.  I would like to explore more possibilities to share my skills. The significant key of my artworks made by oil paints is the variously, including different textures and mediums. I’m sure that our expressions and feelings made us artists. In my artworks, I’m trying to take after my deep feelings of research and my inquisitiveness. Furthermore, I’m fascinated by the 50’s and 60’s century artists. Especially, Futurist artist like Boccioni, Silva, Gonzalez. Their appearance have been a tremendous impact on my art.  Claude Monet...
