Federico Infante

For my contemporary artist sketchbook assignment I chose a painter named Federico Infante. Federico's work is very unique in his process, finished products, and overall meaning. He creates these beautiful pieces by a process of painting layers on layers of acrylic paint and then scratching it off. As a result, each piece becomes unique in it's own way. Federico also doesn't plan his work in advance, and tries to "stay present and as detached as possible from the result," which I find really inspiring. I love the colors, movement, and mystery that is found in his work and I'm now using Federico's pieces to inspire my concentration. Definitely checkout his website and I also recommend reading his artist statement (http://www.federicoinfante.com/)!

This is a thumbnail of my experimentation for my concentration. I took pictures of chipped or patterned surfaces and I'm going to combine them with a portrait of movement. I'm still experimenting with composition and brushes but I continue to be inspired by Federico's work.

Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website: https://www.anniewuart.com/
