STRIPES, STRIPY, STRIPED


Sean Scully. See more of Sean's work here.

Sean Scully immediately comes to mind when thinking of stripes in contemporary art but there are also many other wonderful artists incorporating stripes into their work. These are just a few of my favourite pieces.


Minnie Pwerle. Acrylic on linen. See more here.

"The shape of the piece and the surface markings on it create a rhythm, a percussion beat that I think of as a wordless tactile language." - Louise Gelderblom

    Stripes seem to guide you through an art piece. They make an object more lively.

    I love stripes almost as much as circles. I've had the fortune to go see Minnie Pwerle's paintings in the flesh, she does both stripes and circles.

    I was just going to say I love stripes almost as much as circles and then I read Ro's comment :-).
    But it is true, I use them a lot.
    I love Scully's work and will check out all of these.
    I so appreciate your beautiful posts.
    How is Digby? Any chance we could have a photo sometime? I am sure he has grown! Kisses. xoxo

    I'm such a spiral, circle person... when I look at these I am curious, I find them beautiful, but like a foreign land I visiting, and I also know that this could change in an instant - that I might be struck and carried away by an obsession with stripes.

    Nice gathering of stripes, dear Robyn!
    It's a nice counterpart to the circles I am now gathering for my actual paper swap.

    Have a joyful afternoon,

    R- that is the thing about stripes - they just take your eyes to places that they want to. B

    ooh!
    Such soul food, Minnie Pwerle is a favourite, but Matthew Harris has my heart now.

    I am such a fickle girl!

    Nose licks to Digby..

    Lisa at Greenbow, yes stripes do seem to make a painting skip and sing.

    Remei, thank you!

    Ro, Minnie's work always seems to draw me in even before I know who the artist is.

    Art at Chesterbrook, glad you enjoyed the selection.

    Jann, I can't stay away from Tumblr for long .... even when i try :-)

    Annie, sending photo soon!

    Leslie, I did that post :-)

    Laura Tringali Holmes, they do seem to chat now that you mention it.

    Emma, you have a better chance of seeing Mathew Harris' work than I do.

    Valerianna, I dare you to try!

    Kim, happy exploring!

    Thanks so much Sophie. I'm thinking of you enjoying every moment of your trip.

    Elfi, Mathew's work is amazing, yes!

    Velma, it does have a certain vibration doesn't it?!Here in South Africa the r often rolls like a tractor.South Africans will know what i mean :-)

    FM, I'm imagining you are wallowing in paper circles :-)
