PhoBlog - Artist Statement - week 7

In researching Impressionism, I decided to focus on the Post-Impressionism dot art technique also known as Neo-Impressionism. I've always been a fan of how this technique blends color with more depth as you move farther away from the painting. I liked Paul Signac's conviction to Neo-Impressionism and his unique style portrayed in some of his paintings.

The two paintings showcased in this poster are Portrait of M.Felix Feneon by Paul Signac (oil on canvas, 1890) and Portrait of Paul Signac by Georges Seurat (conte crayon, 1890).

I decided to recreate the movement in Paul Signac's portrait of Felix Feneon and use several different Effect tools in Illustrator to simulate the dot technique in digital media, blending some aspects of Signac' painting into the my recreated version. Also, I intentionally used the Garamond font because of its association with France and the 1800's.
