Cubism 2

I’ve done some research into the styles of cubism. I’m going to avoid the temporal aspect that some styles use because while it does look interesting it also looks messy. I’ve found one artist, Chidi Okoye, whose work is a hybrid of Japanese Okiyo-e style (which I personally enjoy) and the more ‘western’ cubism. Strong, bright colours are used and the paint is physically textured with a ‘splatter’ effect.

I hope to use the above mentioned qualities in my own work.
