Japanese Brush Pen Study
NOTES ON SOME FAVOURITE ARTISTS:
Brett Whiteley – A favourite Australian artist. Interesting use of perspective and distortion. An intense and passionate visionary.
Yoji Shinkawa – A character concept artist and mechanical designer. Uses a Japanese brush pen and watercolor to achieve a highly stylized yet skilfully restrained effect.
René Magritte – Takes the mundane and makes it interesting. A pipe, a bowler hat, an apple. His works seem to exist in a world without the constraints of gravity or time.
Salvador Dalí – Ultimate surrealist master and dreamer. The intricacies and imagination on display are limitless. Like dreams instilled on canvas.
M. C. Escher – Highly detailed, mind bending works of impossible constructs and equally bizarre perspectives. Master of the optical illusion.
Syd Mead – Visual futurist responsible for a vast array of gritty retrofit sci-fi designs. His work takes the fantastic and grounds it so precisely that the viewer can believe it exists in the present or near future.
Bruce Timm – Alongside Eric Radomski, responsible for the ‘Dark Deco’ design of Batman: The Animated Series. Achieves dramatic character shape, pose and movement with minimal line-work.
Edvard Munch – An expressive display of the human condition. Some thought provoking work that provides the viewer with an empathic experience.
Saul Bass – Frequent Hitchcock collaborator and graphic designer. Inspired simplicity and effectiveness.
Drew Struzan – Legendary movie poster artist with a real skill for encapsulating the spirit of a film in one image. Rich colouring adds a nostalgic warmth and timeless quality.
Banksy – Anti-establishment hero and street art legend. Decent social commentary on the current state of things.
