I originally left the research point until later on as I was behind in my work for Assignment 2. Now I am preparing for the assignment I have revisited this section for further inspiration.
My thoughts and research so far (I am still adding to this brainstorm):
Philip Geiger is my chosen artist. An instant love of his content and work.
The overriding theme is simplicity. It feels familiar in its snapshot of life. Light is a theme in all of his pictures, with a stream of light connecting the people or areas of the rooms. He is an American Romantic Realist whose work can be traced to realism. He has roots in abstract, tonal compositions.
I enjoy how Geiger does not necessarily focus on the detail of the subject and the environment. He is offering a moment in time glimpsed through the placing of light and tone.
I felt inspired at this point in combining his blocked tonal ink studies with his interior domestic everyday.
