Matthew Best, abstraction, art, artist, drawings, works on paper Detail shots of some of the first new work in 2011
Monday, January 3, 2011 at 4:42PM January marks my second year in my new, or formerly new studio in Hartford, CT. Below are two details of new drawings, the first pieces new pieces for the new year. They are only details because they aren't quite finished, or at least I'm not sure if they are finished or not. My unofficial New Year's Resolution has been to do larger pieces (the second image is a portion of a 22 by 30 drawing) and to use a wider range of colors (in this case, green, which I tend to avoid....)
While the transparent qualities of ink have been interesting to explore, I'm starting to incorporate opaque elements into the drawings. You can see this above in the green areas and below in the white lines.
I recently added images of drawings from late 2010 in the works on paper section, they can be seen here: http://mjbest.squarespace.com/works-on-paper/works-on-paper/
As an update, here is an image of one of the finished drawings.
