NATE LOWMAN

Nate Lowman’s work interests me for its expressive detail. i like how they build up shape and then on top of that they use bold lines to help build up the shapes and contrast. from far away it looks as if theyve some lovely line work but up close you can see that its thought through nonsense. lowman simplifies his subject matter in a precise way which is something id like to try implement in my work.

Lancaster’s work has a beautiful painterly style to it and i relate a lot to this style of painting. ive grown to love and use more painterly and expressive style of painting anf lancaster work is great example yo learn from. i like that her subject matter isnt perfectly defined and that ge brush strokes build the shape. I think implementing a painterly style into my work would give a good effect to my paintings.

Kantatovsky’s work is beautifully simplified the layers of thin and thick paint are very effective. I like that line work is also involved in their paintings but it’s not super distracting from the entirety of the painting. They seem to use the black line work as a focal point to draw attention to the middle but not too much that you can ignore everything else going on. I also like how over simplified everything is which kind of relieves the pressure of my paintings having to have a lot of detail and precision.
