Directions in Painting
Painting — alongside sculpture and printmaking, one of the branches of the visual arts. It uses means of plastic expression, such as colour and line, applied to canvas or another surface (paper, wood, wall); works are usually two-dimensional, or three-dimensional with spatial elements. Painterly work follows the conventions proper to its period, yet the search for different forms of expression keeps shaping new, original directions and an extraordinary diversity of paintings.
Directions and styles I’m particularly drawn to:
Geometric abstraction · Abstractionism · Color field painting · Dadaism · Expressionism · Abstract Expressionism · Narrative figuration · Figurativism · Formism · Fauvism · Hyperrealism · Illusionistic painting · Illusionism · Impressionism · Informel · Kapism · Cubism · Cubo-Futurism · Symbolic minimalism · Nabism · Neo-Expressionism · Neo-Fauvism · Post-Impressionism · Primitivism · Pointillism · Purism · Realism · Magic realism · Skiagraphy · Spatialism · Surrealism · Symbolism · Tachisme · Analytic art
