Tiny, Odd, Not all purple

This week we were encouraged to allow our chosen artist to inform our model making. So looking at Gretchen Albrecht’s use of bold primary colours, semi-circles, and paint strokes to create a vibrant aesthetic I created these models.

I wanted to explore many of her different art styles as she has multiple, after researching I found her watercolour lookalike paintings, which are created with thin acrylic paint being striped across the canvas at a very large scale. I also merged this with her frequent use of semi-circles and attempted to show layering within materials as well as paint, as she shows through her painting technique.

I considered how her thin acrylic paint overlaps and has a sense of transparency to it, especially where two colours meet and bleed in to each other creating a blurred effect.
