Final Project: Lino Lago (11/20/18)

In this project, the student is required to design a composition on 18×24 image that draws inspiration from a chosen artist.  For my artist, Lino Lago, I’ve decided to depict a image that has a solid color with some parts of the original image below being shown.  My notes on Lino Lago, which shows how he paints his art then play “peekaboo” with his art.My original concept involves surrealism, but adds a bit of illustrative elements into the design.  A bit contradictory of what Lago does, but I wanted to convey a sort of alignment or nod to his work.

In the design process, I wanted to depict flowers, which was meant to invoke freshness and familiarity.  This symbol alongside the depiction of the living room is meant to speak within freshness of one’s home.
