Artist Dan Hobday finds inspiration in the coastal landscapes of his hometown of Devon, England. The open feel of this mixed medium piece combines watercolor, charcoal and ink lines. Handmade in Austin, Texas.
Building Blocks 1 hints at the impactful work of Robert Motherwell, a pivotal figure in the American abstract expressionist movement as a member of the New York School. This minimalist work emphasizes deliberate and bold black abstract marks on paper that offer a dynamic balance between filled and empty spaces. The simplified black-and-white color scheme and a series of vertical forms could be seen as abstract characters.
Driven by modern minimalism, artist and graphic designer Dan Hobday's unique rendering is framed within rustic walnut for a clean, museum-quality look.
