Welcome to another day of creative CrossFit! Today is 23 out of 30. Only one more week to go!
I’ve been talking about various forms of perspective. Perspective has a lot of rules! Sometimes with all these rules about art, I forget that getting it “right” can actually make a drawing less interesting.
Australian artist William Robinson paints landscapes using multiple perspectives that often give the viewer the sensation that they are inside the space. The land curves to show expansive views, the trees reach for the sky first up, then down. I’m reminded of the strange cut out shapes a globe makes when you attempt to flatten it unsuccessfully into a two dimensional map. Robinson’s paintings contain the land and sky as they surround us. They call attention to how ridiculously boring it is that we take all of space and flatten it into a tiny rectangle, and then pretend it’s like real life. Human beings move around. We look up and down. We walk this way and that. Does not the world turn below our feet?
Today’s Challenge: Create something using multiple perspectives.
