Jackson Pollock

Jackson Pollock is another artist I looked at. He was well known for his unique style of drip painting. As he struggled with alcoholism for most of his life, I could almost feel how he felt from his work.


Rather than fixing his canvas to an easel, most of his canvases were either set on the floor, or laid out against a wall. From there, he used a style where he would allow the paint to drip from the paint can. Instead of using the traditional paint brush, he would add depth to his images using knives, trowels, or sticks. 

I responded to Jackson’s work by dripping paint on different type of fabrics. The reason why I looked at his work was because it is another way to explore how liquid can drip differently and how to use the drip to express feelings.
