radical geometry

Went to the 'radical geometry' exhibition at the royal academy which I really loved, it had lots of art from all around South America. Lots of bold, graphic lines, quite architectural.

Lydia Pape, Helio Oiticia, Joaquín Torres-García:








I love exploring patterns and line work and these give interesting perceptions on how you look at the world and how they are interpreting it. The bottom two are woodcuts, I love the texture it creates so definitely want to try this method this year.

Jesus Soto, Gego:







there were some installations that really played with how we look at objects, when you move around the installations it looks completely different each time and is a completely different shape. 
all the artists in this exhibition play with scale and colour, creating optical illusions that challenge the viewers perceptions. 
I enjoy doing more abstract work where I can depict what I see in more analytical ways - playing with patterns and textures, so this exhibition gave me a lot if inspiration for further work.
