I stumbled across Hans Hoffman's work this morning and was pretty surprised by the similarities in his work and what I want to do. I love the clean shapes amongst the madness of expressionistic brushstrokes. Over the past few days I've been thinking about how I can express the contradiction between my liking for both city and country environments and the thought process that goes with it. One of the ideas I came up with was to have sharp, clean shapes amongst some kind of free, flowing backdrop.
I really like his thick application of paint and his appearingly care-free attitude when it comes to making the backdrop behind the shapes. Hoffman's work has really inspired me and I think he will be quite a big inspiration when it comes to making my painting(s)
