Cy Twombly

One artist who was suggested to me to look into was Cy Twombly. I found his vivid and erratic mark making and the way in which he applied the media to his pieces was not dissimilar to my previous piece.

Something else I was intrigued to find out, is that Twombly went through a similar process when it came to experimentation with ready made backgrounds and the way he works back into work to get different effects. However I feel that is as far as the similarities go, because Twombly thinks a lot of his pieces out and creates a number of sketches to plan each piece it didn't relate as much to my work. In my work, at this present moment, I'm a lot more experimental and chance is still an important component. Although when creating my final piece I am unsure chance will hold the same amount of importance and whether like Twombly, my marks will be planned more strategically.
