Conflict
Alex Hinders, 2015.
Colored pencil and ink.
Here’s another work form my red and purple experimentation phase. The blocks to the left of the figure all connect to her but also draw your eyes to the right. The blocks on the right hand side tug at you in different directions and most of them draw your attention towards the largest purple block in the image. This large purple block points back to the largest red block, which can in theory take your eyes on another loop. The negative space between the largest red and purple blocks bothers me a bit — it’s almost as if it acts as a cage for the figure.

I rather like the “empty space” on this one.
That’s something worth experimenting with also.
