Pointilism

Through experimenting with different ways to draw stingrays I was given feedback and encouraged to continue to explore into

drawings made from dots, a pointillism themed drawing.

 

The Pointillism art movement of the 1880's is one most are familiar with, but the artist that most captivates me with his work is Paul Signac. He, alongside George Seurat (who I also admire greatly), were one of the first to develop this technique.

 

 

I love that Paul's work is so diverse, his work can pan from ordinary to extraordinary



 

 

This one especially seems like it was painted before it's time. It's so different to the rest, the bright colours and shapes. Its strange and unusual to see a painting of his of this time not to be still-life but from his imagination, creating a world that only exists in his mind. It almost reminds me of doctor who, it definitely has a futuristic feel to it which is why I'm sure it was so well known.
