In the year 2023 I completed three abstract paintings on circular canvases, an exercise which took me out of my comfort zone and resulted in some bold new work. For this latest abstract piece I've returned to a classic square canvas, instead opting to keep the circular forms within that framework. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've also recently obtained the means to create dot patterns in acrylic paint using stencils, much like my pop art hero Roy Lichtenstein. However, I've decided to use the dots to create clashing and complimentary patterns - circles within circles - closer in style to the Japanese artist Yahoo Kusama or the Memphis Group, an Italian collective who in the 1980s experimented with bold colours and shapes, throwing away the old traditions of design. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne final inspiration is the music and artwork of the indie band Stereolab, a favourite of mine since my teen years, and whose album Dots and Loops has always inspired thoughts of abstract art in my mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePostage will be first class, tracked, and packaged safely in a strong cardboard box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ian Viggars Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54565124768085,"sku":"SQ5758440","price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1069\/9725\/2437\/files\/AbstractSquareWhiteSquare1B.jpg?v=1787064913","url":"https:\/\/www.ianviggars.com\/products\/abstract-5-dots-loops-painting-on-canvas","provider":"Ian Viggars Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
