Graffiti, grillwork and linoprinting – inspired by Balmain, New South Wales, Australia. These three images are connected and are in harmony through their fascinating twists and turns.  Their Designs link them together.

Art Forms:  Graffiti, Grillwork, Linoprints

The first image taken was the grillwork close up.  Second was the graffiti on a building wall, which I found similiar in design to the grillwork.  Third was my linoprint in blue.

While visiting in Sydney, I took a series of photographs of homes, gardens, buildings, doorways. Seeing the old heritage buildings and the ornate designs was quite fascinating from an artistic viewpoint.

Looking at the buildings and structures, I was amazed that now liked them so much. In the past, I’ve not cared much for buildings.

But, this time, I was really seeing the abstract shapes and patterns within these buildings and fences, doorways and walls. I liked it!

 

Art,  comes in many forms.  Not just in the one I’ve been used to, nor the one that fits like a nice old slipper.

 

And Yes, graffiti.  I really enjoy graffiti.  Who knew!

The act of creation, in any media is a fascinating and magical process. I simply love to create. Expressing in color, line, tone, texture - as if, they were words upon a page. Creating a uniquely me, interpretation. Enjoy More of my "one-of-a-kind" expressive art at society6.com/debiriley and, redbubble.com/people/debijriley/shop

  4. …It would be interesting to merge grillwork patterns with silhouette papercuts…then stencil them in layers…. (though there arn’t enough hours in the day?!)

    1. Nexi, that sounds really exciting! maybe YOU could do it? smiling now. and you are so right about hours in the day… though, I imagine if I gave up WP, I’d have at least 20+ more hours for art. LOL

        Maybe we have this in common that we see beauty in many things. I can see a lot of details that others don’t see, and I love details.
        My imagination has helped me a lot to overcome my childhood which wasn’t that funny and up to today I let it bustle about when I can’t sleep or when I’m unhappy.

  11. I totally agree, art comes in many forms, beside color art is made out of forms, shapes, silhouettes, and inspiration can come sometimes from unexpected sources indeed. Love your lino print, last time I used that technique was more then 30 years ago in art school, gosh thats a long time ago, hehe. You brought back some wonderful memories with that piece Debi!
    Have a beautiful weekend 🙂
