Flamingo Arts Project
I can now reveal the illustration I did for Flamingo Magazine.… and here it is! It was for an article about the American artist Gordon Matta-Clark . To be fair I didn’t know who Matta- Clark was (yes my bad!) but I love doing editorial pieces because you get to do your own research into the subject matter and generate your own opinions and thoughts.
After reading about him I decided to do a self portrait of him and add lots of geometric and abstract shapes to mimic his enormous sculptures which often comprised of cut out walls and houses. These were often left in a raw state. Cutting through walls, leaving diagonal and horizontal shaped exteriors for the viewer to see the inside layers, this is what I wanted to show through the image. Matta- Clark would create these dramatic pieces of work which he often took man made structures, houses for instance, and completely changed their architectural function into art.
