Terry Winters

I checked out this artist, that created the work in the post below, oh and by the way sorry about that, I had some technical difficulties.. but anyway I checked out Terry Winters, who was the artist featured in Tiffany's post. I really enjoyed the way he varies his art work. The work in Tiffany's blog was surreal though had some very naturalistic aspects to it, like the tape measurer ribbon. He varies in medium as well, from oil to lithographs and other printmaking techniques. Although both featured in the blogs are oil paintings, you can see the differences in his execution. In the one featured below his focus is on pattern and repetition of colors. The background is very abstracted along with the obscure figures in the foreground, in fact one of the only things that this painting shares with the other surreally done one is its focus on dimension. They both place on emphasis on layers and depth. I just thought this was interesting and shows how an artist can evolve.
