jackson pollock


Physical art. Physical expression.
Jackson pollock could not master the traditional aesthetics of painting, but found refuge in  the physical act of expression. Utilizing rhythm and colour to allude subjectivity and emotion.
Pollocks works use rhythm and force to both draw the viewer in and push them away. The abstract formations are intangible, however they are capable of connecting to ones psyche. But yet, the forms and brushwork are free flowing, melodious. The sheer size of the work is also very confronting, the viewer becomes lost in the embellishing visuals. An overwhelming chaos.
