Searching an artist, that studies twists, coils, rolls, curl.?

Question

My friend is studying A-level art, and could use some help finding an artist that studies twists, coils, rolls and curls. we've searched the internet, but wondered if theres a way of narrowing down the search!?

Answer 1

NO

Answer 2

I don't think Bridget Riley is a curl person - more of a straight liner, in fact. Look at Klimt's decorative style, Van Gogh's skies (especially in 'Starry starry night'). Look also at so called Primitive Art of Africa and South America. For more modern artists perhaps the futurists and vorticists might help.

Answer 3

As in my last answer, the best way of going about such things is to go to an actual gallery. There's no substitute for standing in front of a painting to see how the artist has applied the paint to get the impression of what they were trying to convey. A couple of names to get your friend started - Vassily Kandinsky and Briget Riley.

Answer 4

I know this artist personally.

However, if your friend needs an artist as an example who is better known than me try looking up a famous American artist from the 40s and 50s. His name was Stuart Davis.

Answer 5

Do a google for Freydoon Rassouli, he uses all the shapes you mention very creatively

Answer 6

Try 'performance art', or using the body in art.
