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 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.
