Artist: Amy Waller
Artwork: Empty
Ruins
Year: 2014
Medium: Collage and Acrylic
Provenience: Artsist Collection
During a painting module we
looked into a theme of cityscapes. As a group we took a walk through the city
of Durban. I took many photos and notes for reference. Above is the
artwork Empty Ruins, it is my own interpretation of the city. The
expierence of the walk influenced how I painted this artwork, as it effected my mood towards my subject matter. In the middle of
the artwork is a black and white photocopy of a photo I took on the walk. I
then used mixed media of acrylic and paper to expand the cityscape. The
photocopied image represents the present while the painted cityscape portrays
what the city will look like in the future, a city in ruins.
Below is the original photo
taken on my city walk.:
