3 Textile artists


Here are a few artist that have inspired me during my time exploring the Textile area;
Focusing particularly on artists who use an interesting colour palette and techniques in which they create their work.


Mark Rothko

 His work is pure colour and I find it fascinating how something so simple can be so effective. The proportions of colour vary in size but are organised thoughtfully.


Dawn Dupree


I particually like Dupree's work as she shows an excellent use of layers and textured surfaces. Colour wise, her work is relatively neutral but adding in small sections of bright colours of red and yellow makes the work very eye catching.  


Barbara Rae

Dr Barbara Rae RA, Broadhaven

The aspect in her work that I find most interesting is her use of horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines varying in width and colour. The lines cover the majority of the paintings and they draw your eye from one end to the other.
