I'm not really into art nor do I claim to understand a lot of the aspects of what goes into design and creation of it (beyond throwing/making bowls and vases on the wheel in ceramics from HS ) My knowledge is limited to the most well-known artists (Dali is probably my favorite) but that second piece there is really interesting to me...I'm not sure if its the geometry or the color scheme and relative sizes/directions or using one shape to form everything but I really dig that painting man, awesome job.
Thanks for the kind words. I really enjoyed the creation of that. I envision it as part of a series so I'll be creating more soon.
A little more background on that piece... It's titled Sierpinski no. 1 because it's influenced by, and is, the Sierpinski triangle. The Sierpinski triangle is a fractal. What that means is... every equilateral triangle can be broken down into four smaller equilateral triangles which in turn can also each be broken down further into four equilateral triangles until infinity. It's also the tri-force in the Legend of Zelda
Appreciate the background info man, it's always good to know where/how a piece came about. That's great that it'll be a part of a series, are you going to explore a different shape or geometric fractal with each piece? Now that you mentioned it, I do vaguely remember learning about that back in hs in a couple of my classes too....but def post your future paintings in the series though, I'd be really interested in seeing them...I wish I was more artistic Do you know of any more artists who work with fractals or that style? Or anyone similar to the style of painting Dali worked with?
Wow SuperAntigen, Njideka Akunyili's work looks impressive. I'd love to see her work in person some time. I have a feeling they're massive in scale judging by her use of collage...
She has about 4 or 5 pieces showing right now, in a group exhibition, at the Studio Museum in Harlem. You're in Brooklyn so it wouldn't be too long of a train ride.

As far as the Sierpinski series, I will continue using the Sierpinski triangle but in different configurations, compositions, as well as color palettes. Haven't thought beyond that yet. I'm not sure of any other artist that works with fractals. I can however recommend other other artists that have worked with grids or color field. These are all big names so if you have a contemporary art museum near where you live you should be able to find some of their work on view. Trust me when I say, all art, good art anyway, looks best in person. The first time I saw a Rothko in person I nearly teared up.
Mark Rothko
Piet Mondrian
Agnes Martin
Richard Diebenkorn
Frank Stella
Josef Albers
Henri Matisse
As for more Surrealist stuff...I absolutely adore Rene Magritte's paintings. Check him out.
I dig that piece Boyz Noise.
