Artist Links

I went with my usual starting point when beginning a new project which was to look at different artists who work in the style that I wish to portray. When thinking about the whisky and wine bottles I kept remembering Tony Cragg who used to build up lines to create bottle shapes.






This work is similar to that of Alberto Giacometti who also used lots of fine lines to build up an image.




But what I was really looking for was works that had that oaky richness that I thought of when I visited the store.

In this cubist painting, Max Weber brings in a lot of the earthy tones that I am looking for. 

This image by Rothko displays more of the tones that I could use within the design of the website.








Georgia O'Keeffe is another artist noted for her strong use of tones in her paintings. 

This image I came across by Francis Picabia I thought was nice, It would suite a wine website.









This painting by Liubov Popova again is that of the cubist style which demonstrates great use of colour and rich dark texture in the shadows of the shapes.







When searching through other work I came across a style that I thought was just fantastic and something that you might expect to see as a cigarette poster from earlier decades.

 

 

These collages are by Mimmo Rotella and something about them just caught my eye, I like the teared edges and the missing colour in places. I think the overall effect of the images is quite nice. I will have a look at a design that encourperates some of these features.

This image by Jorg Immendorf is quite 'glassy' in effect brought on by the use of colour lines on black, I think the lines have a nice effect showing where light hits an object. It reminds me of how glass looks when the light touches it.
