I want to show you a cool idea to think about when making your art. It has to do with creating work that is engaging both at a distance and close up, and how to enhance these views by offering a different feeling with each.
Check this out…
When your work offers this combination of views — from a distance and close-up— it gives the viewer more ways to connect with the work. And when those two views express a clear difference in feeling, offering boldness and subtlety, the work is super exciting to experience.
Do you combine these two views in your own work? Let me know in the comments.
In this Wednesday’s Art2Life podcast I’m speaking with my artist friend John Henson. John’s work illustrates this idea of two views perfectly using only nails and wood. You’ll be blown away by the simplicity & explosiveness of his work depending on if you’re looking up-close or from a distance. And you’ll hear about his deeply personal connection to his medium of choice. I hope you’ll join me.
