Gestural Artist - Neil Canning

I chose Neil Canning because I like his body of work as a whole compared to most of the other artists I came across. The colours he uses and the simple, uncluttered canvases appeal to me. The sweeping movements of the lines are almost a landscape in some of his works.

Jazz J--Gesture artist--Julie Mehretu

My way of describing Julie Mehretu's art would simply be... Explosive. There is no doubt that her art portrays movement. I love the different mediums she uses together. Her work almost has sort of a graphically designed architectural feel. Yet, she manages to take something that is generally quite structurally organized, and make it into this well-formed, cluttered masterpiece.

Although Kara Powell is a make-up artist, she uses smearing and dripping techniques that are also used in paintings.

Gesture Artist

Ingred Calame - American artist that focuses one the often overlooked. Her work appears to use negative space very well, and I feel like the longer one looks at her art, the more s/he will see.
