This workshop looks at the work of Gillian Ayres, a widely respected British abstract artist working across the second half of the twentieth century. Her work has huge energy and vitality, with bold colour and shape and non figurative in its style.
We used this reference to create our own abstract images with strong colour contrasts and surface textures and a playful approach to media
Students enjoyed the freedom of applying paint in various ways: drips, dabs, splattering, pouring and scraping and aimed to emulate the excitement of colour and shape as seen in this popular artist’s work.
