ALL THE NEWS THATS FIT TO PRINT: inspiration

Doug Ashford from series "Next Day 2015"

 

FRED TOMASELLI July 15, 2009, 2012 Gouache and digital print on watercolor paper 11 x 14 in.

"The surreal compositions are ruminations on the absurdity of news cycles and provide the artist with a space to respond to a variety of issues – from regional anecdotes to global crises. As Tomaselli states, “I think that maybe the Times collages are quietly political, in that I can riff on anything I want, while the horrors of the world become the background buzz. Maybe I’m saying that the world may be going to hell, but I still keep painting.” Tomaselli

LINE EXAMPLES FOR YOUR FIRST ASSIGNMENT

Rachel Perry Welty from the series "Chiral Lines"
The Chiral drawings began as an attempt to make a drawing using every single pen, pencil, crayon, colored pencil and marker I own. I scoured each drawer, surface and even the car console for writing implements. Once I had gathered them I decided to limit the expression to the simplest gesture: a line. Each subsequent line, made with a different implement used only once, follows the previous. As the drawing builds, the lines swiftly begin to tremble with a seismic quality, recording the history of the mark making, as well as the history of a household. In the interest of making a “whole” drawing, and in thinking about the body, I decided to use both my left hand and my right hand. The word “chiral” refers to a non-superimposable mirror image. Our hands themselves are an example of chirality. As I was making these I was also thinking about the notion of the copy, the reproduction of an image. Each set of drawings is an imperfect mirror image, and a suggestion of the impossibility of making the same thing twice. – RP, November 24, 2014

Each drawing contains 500 small squares on an A4 sheet of vellum. Each one is a process and accumulates to a grid representing the passage of time. I draw until the small brush has run completely out of color.  And then repeat. Jenny Perlin - Sequence 160 drawings, ink on vellum, A4, arranged in grid, 2007
