This painting is created by Cy Towbly, an American painter who has been acknowledge by his large-scale, freely-scribbled, calligraphic works on solid fields of plain colors such as off-white, grey and tan. His workflows are influenced greatly by Pollock, who has been mentioned in the description.
As this painting is completely based on his intuitive feeling about composition, shape and colors, it is an example of how the randomness of emotions and thoughts can be represented with color and gestures to articulate emotional expression. As the painting itself only consists of the simplest element- stoke, it allows viewers to examine the energy that’s associated with the expression and also has left room allowing viewers to interpret it.
This work is really inspirational to me as it has manifested how the randomly generated compositions can be really expressive and full of impact while being dynamic and unpredictable.
