Abstract Collage Studies

I'm not too sure if abstract collage studies is the best way to describe this collection. What I am certain of though is that by combining mixed media such as acrylics, oil pastel, collage and pencil I've created what I feel is some compelling imagery that prepares me well for my next collection of paintings. I've found that oil pastels are superb for laying down quick strokes and areas of colour that can easily be scraped off the paper surface. In addition, pencil marks glide off the pastel surface effortlessly. Layering areas of found imagery next to areas of colour for me, accentuates the importance of the image because it isolates the picture where it has been removed from its original context.

2 More Amazing Contemporary Abstract Artists

Following on from my previous post where I shared the work of 6 contemporary abstract artists that have moved and excited me with their work, I am extremely delighted to once again present the work of 2 more artists I've stumbled across who's paintings have had a similar effect on me. Tahnee Lonsdale and Charlotte Foust use colour, marks and design in such an intuitive way. To me, their work is a reflection of expression at its highest level. Whether that expression manifests as joy or solitude it's clear that a great deal of discipline is involved in creating exquisite canvasses. I hope you enjoy their work as much as I have.
With thanks to Audrey Phillips for pointing me towards Charlotte's work.
