Pop Art is a style of art based on simple, bold images of everyday items, such as soup cans, painted in bright colours. Pop artists created pictures of consumer product labels and packaging, photos of celebrities, comic strips, and animals. What I really like about Pop art is that It began as a revolt against the dominant approaches to art and culture and traditional views on what art should be. I personally think art should be anything and everything I don’t believe it should be analytical. In my most recent painting you can see pop art inspirations in the brush strokes and style.

Abstract expressionism is a post World War II art movement in American painting, developed in New York in the 1940s. The movement comprises many different painterly styles varying in both technique and quality of expression. I like to paint abstract Expressionistic art because I want the viewer to feel/experience the emotions I’m trying to convey in my painting. Whilst looking at Abstract Expressionism I’ve become more involved with the paint, trying to use colours I feel convey the emotion I’m feeling for examples reds and blues to represent happiness and sadness.

Expressionism, artistic style in which the artist seeks to depict not objective reality but rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse within a person. Germany is known to be responsible for the birth and development of expressionism in the 1900s, German Expressionists soon developed a style notable for its harshness, boldness, and visual intensity. I personally like Expressionism because I don’t like the Idea and stereotype that art should be analytical and pretty, personally I think art should be anything expressive or visually pleasing. In my work my feelings are expressed either through colour, texture and any medium I find.

Jacques Grinberg was born in 1941 in Sofia, Bulgaria. When he was 13 years old the family left for Israel. He started his schooling in a kibbutz. Later, in 1957, his strong interest in painting led him to enrol at the Avni Art Institute in Tel Aviv. Jacques would both paint and draw portraits of people he would just meet on the street or see which I find interesting and inspiring. The way in which he keeps at least one recognisable facial aspect is real cool because he’s very experimental with painting the rest of the face like the example below. His paintings often have very vibrant backgrounds which I try to involve in my own paintings because I feel it gives your portrait depth and character.

Philip Guston, born Phillip Goldstein, was a painter and printmaker in the New York School, an art movement that included many abstract expressionists like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. Philip Guston is someone I’ve been looking at for a good few weeks now and my favourite thing about his work is the continues colour palette he uses in his paintings. You often see these ghostly figures in his paintings which I think might be related to the KKK group. The one thing I liked and took inspiration from is the scale in which he paints different body parts like hands for example.

Martin Kippenburger was a German artist and sculptor known for his extremely prolific output in a wide range of styles and media, super-fiction as well as his provocative, jocular and hard-drinking public persona. Martin Kippenburger uses a wide range of movements rom his proclaimed hero Pablo Picasso to POP, Minimalism, Socialist Realism, and Expressionism—Kippenberger’s prolific paintings, sculptures, and installations commented on the modern world and the artist’s role in it. I really like how Martin can have something very analytical in one corner than have something super abstract in the other its just a real interesting mix to look at.
