Sigmar Polke
Sigmar Polke is a German artist that uses both paint and photographs to create layered works. Their work often reflects their environment and political environment. I was draw to their work as I saw reflections of their work in my own. The layering, colours and blotting out portions of the image. Their work is challenging and pleasing to the eye.

Tomma Abts
Tomma Abts is another German artist who’s works are driven by an evolving set of personal parameters. Working towards complex final works that are pleasing to both look at and dissect. I was drawn to their work as I felt their creative process reflected the brief nicely.
