Rita Ackermann work is fill of colour and marks. I choose Ackermann’s work because I was drawn to the use of bright colours, lines, and layers. Ackermann has developed a unique style over the years, they explore the relationship between colour, form and line. Some would call it a process of disappearance, she draws on canvas primed with chalkboard paint and then washes parts of the drawing away.
Caspar David Friedrich is a painter from the romanticism era. I have always admired his work, and how his landscapes are both details and abstract. He uses oil paints in his work, which shows the vibrance of colour. Friedrich uses large brushstrokes for small details brush strokes. I like how he paints his landscapes with this foggy feel.
