“…simple shapes are best for showing complicated feelings through colour: like anger, pain, sadness, happiness, calm.” (Mark Rothko)

EXPRESSIONISM Inspired by Mark Rothko, Edvard Munch and Jackson Pollock Using card, string, modroc and paint.

SUN WAS SETTING—SUDDENLY THE SKY TURNED BLOOD RED—I PAUSED, FEELING EXHAUSTED, AND LEANED ON THE FENCE —THERE WAS BLOOD AND TONGUES OF FIRE ABOVE THE BLUE-BLACK FJORD AND THE CITY—MY FRIENDS WALKED ON, AND I STOOD THERE TREMBLING WITH ANXIETY— AND I SENSED AN INFINITE SCREAM PASSING THROUGH NATURE. —EDVARD MUNCH
