The Tate Modern

Thursday 11th March

I went to the tate modern to look for inspiration for my final piece.Picasso's work inspired me with his use of colour, this has made me think about how i may want to use a similar colouring technique in my final piece, i also was highly inspired by the way he uses gestural brush strokes, unlike most painters he uses large amount of paint and fairly large strokes, i really like this style of working.












Another artist that i have liked for sometime cropped up as i was walking through the galleries. Anish Kapoor, who's work i also saw whilst on my london trip in the royal academy, has a brilliant way of creating complex mirrored surfaces. when i view these pieces i do no look at them and think " that's a style i would like to try out" i think, "that would make a brilliant way of displaying a piece of artwork", i would very much like to use Anish Kapoors style of reflection to display my artwork.






This is a piece of work which caught my eye, it took a while for me to work out why and then i realised i had seen the piece of work before and he freeze art festival. i like the simpliciy of this piece and the use of text that has been integatd in to it.
