Artist Research

Amy Sillman

Amy Sillman is an American artist who explores the many different types of practices. I was drawn to this piece more of how she uses the layers and the different techniques on them. You can see the different methods/materials she used to create this such as watercolour paint(?), a pen.

Gemma Smith

Gemma Smith is an Australian painter and sculptor who works in many layers. In most of her artwork recently, she hides a painting beneath another painting. The process of Gemma’s work is to decrease or increase; she will look at the painting and wonder if she will add more paint or remove/strip paint off, this is how she builds her layers which I found quite interesting to try.

Rita Ackermann

Rita Ackermann piqued my interest the most and was inspiring for this brief. The meaning behind Rita Ackerman’s work is her abstract paintings addressing the issues about feminism. I thought how her work was interesting since I couldn’t pin out what the painting was at first, but after researching I could see the outline of the female figure with the different shades of pink.
