Yesterday, I went to Manchester to the Whitworth Art Gallery, I also managed to visit the MAGMA store while I was there. While I was researching online I found an exhibition called 'Intuition,' which has a variety of artists whose works are included in The Musgrave Outsider Art Collection. I discovered that this would be very relevant to the style that I'm looking at developing and would also help me increase my research for my GARP. In this exhibition, I came across Chris Hipkiss, born in 1964, whose work immediately attracted me with its immense detail and black and white scheme.
I also found Scottie Wilson, (1888- 1972) whose work used dark colours instead of black and white. However, it was not this that I noticed, my first impression was of the individual lines used to create each pattern.
The third artist I was intrigued with was Carlo Zinelli.
Very different to the first two I looked at but at the same time the black and white contrast and use of pattern made it look really effective.
