Face and cubism

In a previous blog mail I put some faces and since I have worked more on them to bring, either abstraction, impressionism or cubism.

The Cubism face is more challenging since it involves the understanding of what Cubism is. The explanation that David gave us last Tuesday were most useful. Here is a face that I think is closer to Cubism, even though not totally Cubist, than the ones I had made before.

Street

This image is not completely resolved but I am thrilled that I could get to the stage where is it now. For the first time, I have created a semi abstract piece, bringing in images I have realised in the past.

This digital painting evokes first an old mediaval village street on the lest and finishes up on the right handside with an abstraction of a modern street. In the middle part, a young man face creates the link between them in his own thoughts. Two blocks isolate him from the reality of both streets but the red stings repeated all along operate the link between two types of interpretation of a civilisation.

Once printed on canvas, the colours need uplifting but I am looking forward to paint this image, give it some shine and reveal the central part more.
