| What i love about Klimt's work is the many different patterns, surface decoration he uses. I really enjoyed painting the water in the illustration |
This is a tribute inspired painting from one of my favourite artists Gustav Klimt. I have always loved his work since i did a project on him at college & wanted some new art for my living room so i got out the paint brush's & set to work. This painting was based on his Beethoven Frieze art work painted in 1902, i know 1902! He was so ahead of his time. This was only a very small section of that painting that i was drawn too in a airy way. I havn't completely copied his work i wanted to make it my own, i have exaggerated some parts & added others.
The beethoven Frieze was a painting illustrating human desire for happiness in a suffering & tempestuous world with weakness & evil all around. The women that i have painted represented in his work sickness, madness, death, wantonness & lust, i hope i have captured those feeling in my tribute art work. |
| I love the gold that Klimt would use in his paintings. When the light hits my painting you can see the different bronze & gold paint i used |
 |
| The different layers in this painting were almost like they were peeling & splitting out of the earth, like the skulls in the background |
 |
| The different patterns that Klimt used in the background reminded me of DNA or cells & this worked well with representing sickness so i elaberated on this so they looked like cells multi plying |
 |
| I gave the painting a look where it was almost evil & death pouring out of a overhead porthole |
 |
| I gave the charters in this painting i slight sugar skull look |
 |
| I also added a crown to the figure above the other figures she seemed to be more representative of evil hovering over the others |
 |
| Im not sure what the little stone or creature represented in klimt's work but i saw it as a stone-the earth looking up at the women in horror |
