Day 23: Another exercise in abstraction.
I’ve turned the people into the simplest possible shapes, then built up everything around them in a mosaic of strokes.
Here’s the photo. Also found on the web, but the owner deleted themselves, and there’s no trace on reverse image search.
So – I’m of two minds about my painting. I mean, I like it – the balance between drawing and abstraction is good. But the photo is really quite strong. Quite a good story-composition.
As much as I say – artists worry too much about copyright – this is one case where I feel my work here doesn’t rise enough above the level of a copy.
