Layers of Texture

80111609_oI can’t give credit to the person who sent me this artist as I only have the email address it was sent from and a query back hasn’t received a response yet, but this was too good to pass by. (If you sent me this, write me back with your name!)

Astrid Brefort was the artist referred to and these fun, graphic pendants were what was sent in consideration of this week’s reader’s choice posts. It looks like texture, both tactile and visual in this piece, are what have been drawing readers lately. And layers! Here form created with layers again plays a role in enlivening the piece. Layers create depth and complexity while the halting swirl of the lines and the bright color contrast of the two colors bring visual energy against the white background. It’s simple elements brought together to create a vibrant and fun piece.

Astrid is one of those highly exploratory artists I occasionally talk about. If you take a look at her blog, she has been trying a little bit of a lot of things lately with great results. Go have fun poking around all the fun stuff on her blog and in her shop.

    What a surprise !!!
    Thank you for this article that transcribe exactly what I wanted to explore through the creations of this series.
    I continue to produce pieces that combine layering and juxtaposition of textures.
    My work as a graphic designer for french Polymère & Co magazine will allow me unfortunately to maintain my blog.
    I’m flattered that in the spotlight!
