Gesture Artist: Antonie Tapies

I like the work of Antonie Tapies because something about it comes off so creepy, and I like that. I like the fact that it's simple, yet complex to the point where you can't always understand it or see what is going on. 

"Gestural Artist" -Amanda

 

Christopher Wool's gestural art really spoke to me because of his combination of black and white paintings as well as his bright colored paintings. His craftsmanship is stunning. He uses such a drastic combination of techniques. Splatter painting, thin lines and thick... There is movement in every piece.

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.

Kara Powell body painting- gestural abstraction-By Lisa Yang

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.
