After Paul Gauguin began to stray away from western artistic forms he adopted a new style in which his devotion was on synthetism and simplifying sensory factors to their basic fundamentals. Within his artwork one of paul gauguin’s most prominent factors within his works is his use of color in terms of how he utilized them for their emotive qualities. Paul Gauguin usually used analogous colors to produce muted affects. His colors seemingly blended together with the exception of his primary colors in which he would intentionally assure that they would stand out with bright tones. In all aspects of his art he would innovate and his techniques evolved in different ways throughout his career. Eventually his prime painting technique settled on him applying his paints through broad brushstrokes and his finished figures were often finalized with a bold dark colored outline which served to develop seemingly abstract and flattened forms. He implemented large forms to develop emphasis and he used valiant lines in order to create contour.
One of the many mediums he explored were woodcuts. With this medium Paul Gauguin still attempted to implement his tendencies that he would apply in other mediums but due to the mediums limiting character Paul Gauguin had to do some innovating. His process included complex techniques and experiments. |
since the point of thi piece was to convey hardships that come from something you love i first thought to represetn that through a hand holding a tuna fruit despite the needles poking it. In this case since the loved figure is home i decided to use the cactus of tuna fruits because i thought that it would be a good connectin to my culture do to the story of how mexico became its home to its people.
the following sketch again utilized the same tuna fruit cactus but instead the only thing on the sketch was the cactus itself. My intention was to emphasize the needles on the tuna fruit by having them stand out by being one fo the only parts that remain black.
