Artist connections

-Henry Moore

I chose Henry Moore as a link to my work as I could see the relation between the two. Both have positive and negative spaces which create something abstract and interesting.

-Sandro Botticelli - ‘the birth of venus’

Here I made a link between Botticelli and the folds

which I have photographed. Folds and fabric relate to shells and have an interesting texture. Line plays an important role here and is used in different ways.

-John Martin

When I considered different types of shells, I thought of an egg shell. This painting looks like the inside of a shell and is a relation to my theme.

-Van Gogh

In Van Goghs paintings I have picked out interesting texture and shapes which relate to shells.

The texture makes the painting look more vivid and bold.

In my work I have also included works of Wendy Taylor, John Martin, Georgia O'Keefe, Amiria Gale and Ambrosius Bosschaert. These are the artists which I have included in my work and have experimented with the connections through using a tracing paper and linking different sections together.
