My final piece is a mixed media portrait, developed from the Biro outcome which was most successful, following the brief of distorted figures; I used a variety of mediums and materials such as: PVC, ink, acrylic paint, fine-liner and stitch. The colour palette I chose was a pale mix of warm and cool tones to create light, dark and texture.
I chose PVC as the base as it was strong, unique and a light, shiny material which I would easily apply stitch and layers of colour to. The material I used (paint/ink) were most successful out of all my options as they created the most vibrant and bold colours; however, I could have potentially used the paint more effectively to create a successful 3 dimensional effect with the darker shading.
Personally, I am happy with my final piece as i feel that I have used my artist inspiration successfully to create a distorted portrait that I had further developed from a previous mini outcome. In addition, I admire the colours I have used and feel that I worked really well with the palette and application of tones in key areas.
The most successful part of the project was in the variation of experimentation as I was able to take preliminary tests to see what worked best, particularly in Agnes Cecile's research. In contrast, the least successful part of my project was in my poor management of time, as I feel I could have produced more research to aid my ideas and developments towards my final outcome.
The main artist influences that chose to look at were Silke Werzinger, Ricardo Fumanal, Niky Roeheke and Agnes Cecile; the majority of these artists use a wide variety of colour, shape, tone and texture in a mixed media form which ultimately inspired my final design with bold colours and effective media.
In conclusion, I feel that my work fully answers the brief in an obvious way as the surrealism of the portrait creates a distorted effect, highlighted in the colour palettes and use of mixed media.
