Extract

Combined many different mediums.
Mostly did large-scale works - something I want to experiment with.
Used many different signs + symbols, sometimes overtly, sometimes not.
Very interesting use of space - often depicted bulging, distorted figures on large canvasses in the middle, or corner, surrounded by uninterrupted, negative space. (Many Eastern styles of art have a tendency to portray people as tiny details in the corner of a massive landscape.)
Usually used a limited colour range, often worked in white + black or one other colour.
Often skips narrative information + detail, more emphasis on forms, curves + swellings that hint toward vague details.
