The
final artist which I researched into, Agnes Cecile, inspired me most through
her use of mixed media, bold techniques which create layered portraits which
almost mirror a motion in one image, for instance, looking up, then down, or
even feeling an emotion. One initial influence of the artists’ work was in the
use of fusing and layering images with various voids where features of a face
may lie; this sparked the other black biro portrait outcomes that I created as
I chose to exclude some of the features across the portraits that I had drawn.
For example, the trio of merged portraits of Fran excluded some of her features
and left some small voids to create a digitally edited appearance. Another area of interest I have is in the varied use of colour, shape and texture, depending on the mediums or mixed media that is used. For instance, block colour is used to outline aspects of a portrait such as the clothing, whereas subtle gradients and shading are used in the softer mediums such as water-coloured portraits which suggest quite a wide variation to the style of her work.
Strengths of this work are
highlighted in the consistent level of detail and effective colour palettes
which can change how bold or subtle a portrait might come across. I would
eventually like to incorporate my own work into this idea to create final
outcomes that involve all creative aspects such as striking colour and a high
level of detail.
