Artists food chain :This
is a fun thing. The image started life as a Lichtenstein, (Americian 2oth
cent),. I got the idea that if Lichtenstein could use comic characters
as the basis for artistic images then I could use Lichtenstein as
the basis for another level of artistic images. I downloaded the image
and then in my paint shop pro; using a simple computer mouse; added
some coloured Pellan (Canadian 20th cent), motifs reminiscent of
his 1950's work. I then added a techno-expressionistic type swirl
(one of paint shop pro's features) near centre; created some high profile
tension by locating a chromatic articulation point in the upper left quadrant
to create a balanced tension with the chromatic articulation point in the
lower right quadrent and viola, a "Super Lichtenstein". |
