Final Print (Gesture)

There is a cool brush in illustrator that I decided to use to make a fiery gesture. The background is difference clouds from Photoshop, symbolizing smoke.

It refused to print.

Gesture #2

A few different filters and layer tweaks. I really enjoy the splatter and liquid feel the paint has, and though the bland neutral colors are nice.. I want a more vibrant approach with how our society works today.

Art History Gesture

I looked up several historical gesture artists and just recreated some of their work. I looked up Joan Mitchell, Antoni Tapies, Brice Marden, Julie Mehretu, Elen Frankenthaler, Jackson Pollock and Terry Winters.

Print Project #2 (1&2)

Gesture #1

 Jackson Pollock often used darker, more neutral and earthy colors

So I flipped stuff around and thought the scattered and crazy lines would look cool in bright-seizure neon green

gesture 1&2

based roughly upon Jackson Pollocks works, the first image is actually the gesture #2 and the second is my digital Pollock work.

Gesture #1 #2

Gesture 1 and 2 By Lisa Yang

gesture #1

Gestural Abstraction: emphasizes the process of making art, often through a variety of techniques that include dripping, dabbing, smearing, and even flinging paint on to the surface of the canvas. These energetic techniques depend on broad actions directed by the artist's sense of control interacting with chance or random occurrences. For this reason, Gestural Abstraction is better known as Action Painting

*In this design, I tried incorporating the techniques used in most abstract expressionism. I used Artist Christopher Wool as a reference. Wool has a wide-range of style varying from stenciling to spray paint and  hand painting. 

Gesture 2 - Daily Gestures

These motions are my daily routine at work. Brushing, bathing, cleaning, clipping nails, and various other aspects of taking care of animals.

Gesture 1 - Art History

Gestural abstraction is using motions and your body to paint. The focus is on how you creates the lines instead of the delicate ways of painting. You can drop, smear or throw paint. The point is to use your body to create the piece.

Gestural Abstraction #1 Art History

I really enjoy Cecily Brown's work!  I love the figures in her paintings and how provocative they are! She is able to make so much texture and movement in her pieces.  I would like to see a video of her gestures she uses while painting!

GESTURE #2

Gesture #2

I am a traveler, so to me, the most important gesture in life is movement/ transportation. The black lines gesture my movements across the world over time and the infographic details are the type of transportation I use to get to these places.
