Artist Reference: Graham Sutherland

 

In the pitch, Kim mentioned Graham Sutherland as a reference for my work. He wasn't someone I was familliar with but he had been mentioned to me a couple of times and now was a good opportunity to take a look at his work. I'm not too sure what to make of it. I've taken a look at his paintings and admire his loose, expressive paint quality but his prints don't relate to my work at all. However, I do think his painting technique will come in useful when working into my prints. It is something I plan on experimenting with to see if the results are successful or not.
