Urbanisation
Urbanisation is a current issue with several implications, particularly pertaining to environmental impact. Drawing on Picasso, I have been considering creating an abstract image depicting a sparseness of houses, blocking out the sun. This image evokes the theme whereby the dark lifeless building reflects the heat of the sun. I like how colour has been used to evoke this imagery.
This painting was created during the Cubism movement which was characterised by the abstract dissembling of an image, creating numerous shapes, including cubes, to display the various angles and representations of an object. This required the artist to analyse and break up a scene, before reconstructing it in a new way(Art News: Lost but Not Always Found: The Paris Art Heist, 2010). Extensive use of shape has been used to create this effect and enables the viewer to develop a feel for the buildings in the Italian squares. The painting uses colour to capture the Italian scenes of a cafe and the typically yellow buildings and coutrysides, whilst grey has been used to show the flutter of pigeons.
Cubism could be used to show an abstract image of urban sprawl, depicting the roofs of houses using squares, with the addition of a focal point of black smoke. This would also symbolise the death of the trees, being replaced by more pollution. Warm colours could be used to represent the heat of the houses, reflecting the sun's rays.
This is a brief sketch of my plan.
