After Convergence 13.2.16
In this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge Sheri asks us to “…find inspiration in a piece of art. Then, imitate it.” The painting I have chosen is Convergence by Jackson Pollock painted in 1952 and now residing in the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo New York.
Convergence – Jackson Pollock – 1952
“I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc. because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.” Jackson Pollock.
Homage to Pollock 13.2.16
Jackson Pollock, 1951

love how you have allowed much of the clean white paper to remain, creating a sense of Breathing room and spaciousness rather than a crowded mob of darkly packed entities. ie liking yours, more so, than Pollacks π

I love the Pollock quote which I can easily apply to life. The picture is superb and it is really interesting to watch the action of making the action picture. And as a little PS Nigella Lawson’s latest book has a recipe for Jackson Pollack … is it any wonder I love her so π

OK Andrew – have to say you have by far the most literal interpretation this week! Quite courageous to re-create a Pollock piece, and quite brilliantly I might add. But my favorite thing about your post is the video, helping the viewer to see just how it’s done. Fabulous!!

That second quote is interesting. I don’t think it’s just the modern painter who “cannot express his age”. I think all of us living in this time have great difficulty expressing ourselves because we have so much to contend with from moment to moment and so much noise (literal & figurative) in our lives that sometimes it’s just easier to shut ourselves off from the world.
