Interpretation of my artists work (Alberto Burri)



After studying Alberto Burri's work in depth, I wanted to interoperate his work into my own drawings. I find his piece of work called "Father of the burn" extremely interesting, I feel it clearly shows layers which relates to my overall all project. For this piece I used a black sharpie to create expressive marks throughout the page. I then suck down cling film over the page. Next, covered it with red paint, leaving some places blank so the black underneath was clearly visible. I really enjoyed the look of the cling film with the paint, it made the piece still look like it was wet, the paint had a beautiful shine over it and I feel the cling film really brought that out. Finally I burnt different parts of the cling film to reveal the black expressive lines underneath. I was really pleased with the end result of this piece, it clearly shows layers and it relates to my artists work well. Although I was happy with how the cling film burnt, I feel that I need to maybe try a different material or add some more layers of it, to create real texture and a effective layered look.
