Starting With Abstract Painting

Starting With Abstact Painting

This is interesting how an artist took a picture of an old brick wall.  Next they found one of the bricks with cracks and holes in it and zoomed in and focused on it.  From that single brick they duplicated the paterns of those cracks and holes and made an abstract from it.  Ultimately they ended up printing that patern/abstract over and over creating a giant wall paper like sheet of art.

Here is the original article.  They also reference a book this was taken from back in 1970’s.
Take a look at the pictures as they are really cool and quite old.
