4 contemporary Artists: part 3

3. Tom McGrath


Similarities/inspirations:
  • color palette
  • exploration of specific places/working from photographs
  • exploration of transcendental experiences through painting process
  • abstracting a scene to explore perception/essence
  • balance of the structured with the organic (more apparent in other paintings)
  • variety of mark
Differences:
  • he is more specifically exploring the ideas of perception, especially how they have been influenced by urbanization/sprawl ***this message really resonates with me***
  • use of white and value contrast (although, I will probably experiment with imitating this)
  • more painterly--drips
