Maggie L. Walker Governor's School Student's Art From Junior and Senior Year
My body of work focuses on the distortion of the human figure and careful detailing through the use of various mixed media, primarily ink and watercolor. Composition and line quality are the most important assets of my work which I try to vary throughout each piece. Color and content is still something I struggle with throughout my pieces, which I have been working on improving this entire year. I include aspects of my family into my pieces to create content and investigate what color schemes my favorite artists use in their works to get a better handle of the moods I portray throughout my piece.
The styles of art I am most inspired by are Japanese woodblock prints, art nouveau, and anime. Artists such as Akiya Kageichi, Takato Yamamoto,Nicolas Castel, and Egon Schiele inspire me the most and have affected the perspectives and body types of the figures I depict. I have recently started straying from depicting stereotypically beautiful people and tried to include more diversity in my people to make my pieces more relatable and inclusive for my audience.
