Abstract Expressionism

Whole piece

This piece was inspired by Jackson Pollock's "drip" technique. I used paint layered in a cup and poured it onto the canvas in a pattern. As the layers were poured, the colours created the effects seen above. I really enjoyed creating this piece, and I love how hard to control it was; some areas really work, others don't, but it's impossible to tell how each part will turn out. I used ten plastic cups of acrylic paint in this piece!
