George Bellows

George Bellows is an artist that I particularly admire he has got a really interesting style and way of using paint and imagery. I like the way in which he merges he fleshy colour of paint around and creates this kind of vividly raw sensation of butchers meat being pounded together in a butchers shop.

Frank Stella

I really admire the work of Frank Stella. He uses very strong colors and patterns within his 2/3 dimensional images. I like how the layers clash with each other. Creating this kind of battle between the layers which makes the images appeal exciting and more interesting to look at. The gaps and rips also make

Banksy

I take a lot away from Banksy’s work. He is a big inspiration to me and I think his work is really interesting in a political and also punk kind of way. He has a lot of wit and it shines through in his work. He uses stencils and graffiti spray paint to emphasize the

Shephard Fairey

I find Shephard Fairey’s work really interesting politically as well as aesthetically. The way he creates rips in the images makes me think the torn displacement of people living in poverty or otherwise un democratic in just situations.

Rembrandt etchings

  ‘Three trees’ by Rembrandt the artist form Holland made these etching images in 1643 they are very interesting and detailed.

Tom Abbiss Smith

I really enjoy looking at the work of Tom Abbiss Smith he has a really cool style. I like the fact that he emphasizes using a lot of color in his work. It reminds me of cut outs that are formed by Henry Matisse. He has a really strong way of playing with shapes and

Vincent Van Gogh

I really like the work of Vincent Van Gogh he is a exceptional artist who has a very strong understanding of colour. I like the way the clouds have a sense of motion and the wheat fields you can sense the wheat moving along with the power of the wind. His self portrait is interesting

David Hockney

I really like allot of elements about Hockney’s work. I think that his use of color is exceptional and very overwhelming. His paintings have very strong figurative looks. They achieve a transformation of depth and don’t. He considers every aspect of the scene he wants to look at by being very bold and playful. Sometimes

Rembrandt Van Rijn

I really admire the technical aspects of Rembrandt work they really inspire me to create a sense of depth within the scenery. I love the detail in which he en captures. The use of cross hatching is very effective. The elephant is really nice.  When thinking about incorporating his style into my own work I

Lake Greenland

I did a painting of a lake based on a photograph of Greenland. I really liked the colors in the Photograph especially from the lake in contrast to the oranges of the land. I would like to turn this image into some kind of graphic art screen print. But I would have to simplify it
