Second Year transition.

Following on from semester two of first year, my work is still focusing on transforming old masters work into my implusive mark making. Moving on from the smaller scale of last years work,  I want to use scale to build on the aesthetics of my paintings, this allows for more room to manoeuvre the paint freely around the canvas. Below is my final piece from last year. At this time I was heavily influenced by Julie Mehretu, her use of line was influencial as a way to translate the emotions of Caravaggio's paintings. To move on from this, for semester one I'm going to build on scale and focus on capturing the main movement of the image I'm looking at.
