Abstract Expressionism
Term applied to new forms of abstract art developed by American painters in 1940s and 1950s.
From my experiences of using different medias and manipulating different types of art movements, I have been attracted and taken in by the Abstract Expressionism movement due to the gestural marks that can be made on canvas.
Jackson Pollock - Pollock famously placed his canvas on the ground and danced around it pouring paint direct from the can or trailing it from the brush or a stick. In this way they directly placed their inner impulses on the canvas
Below shows some of the paintings I have produced in the response to Abstract Expressionism, looking at several artists such as Pollock, Rothko, De Kooning and Newman.
