EXPRESSENSORY
final
My intention is to make abstract art
become abstract graphic design and in doing so, represent
the sub-conscious as a logical expression.
I named my project “ Expressensory”.
Expressensory came from expressive + sensory.
My intention is to convert aspects of abstract art into abstract graphic design and in doing so, represent the abstraction of sub-conscious thoughts as logical expressions. This gesture has become the essence of my project “Expressensory” (from expressive + sensory). It is important to my graphic design goals, as I would like to improve my ability to use my inner self, thoughts and senses, yet also to communicate with other people through my work, and ultimately to create something that is honest, beautiful, meaningful and thoughtful.
I express my concepts using design, drawing, illustration, mixed media, collage, typography, and certain programs of computer-based graphics. I use bold colors, display types, and compositions in wildly expressive styles. Postmodern eclecticism also inspires me in its use of vivid colors and forms from popular culture, such as those found in the works of Gunther Kieser, David Carson, Paul Sher, and Robert Rauschenberg, my favorite designers. In addition, looking at fashion in particular has always inspired me: looking at fashion window displays makes me feel the same sensations as looking at the art work in the museums or galleries.
My work is about embracing the irrational and nonsensical and make it appear comprehensible through the logic of the subconscious. I try different experiments with materials, such as using food colors (powder type) on toilet paper. I believe that with every experiment I have found a new set of purposes and reasons to support my notion of ‘the new logic’ and my job is to compose this logic in such a way that is obvious and understandable to my audience.
