Jeff West Vector art for artists' sake
This piece was an assignment for my Digital Illustration Diploma. The challenge was “Vector art” using Adobe Illustrator software.
Digital perspective
I focussed on the implementation of perspective, revisiting my engineering and technical drawing background. Rather than creating from scratch I brought in some “off-the-shelf” art to hang in this gallery. There are no other visitors than you, and a family ( or tetraptych) of mice making their home in the cartoon skirting board.
Techniques
I continued the geometric shapes dictated by the gallery walls, each tinted by virtue of their position under the virtual lighting and the sunlight streaming in from lovely day outside. What a day to be indoors!
I used Adobe Illustrator vector software for its perspective tools and additional features such as gradients—used to filter out the light guiding us into the first gallery space.
Contributing artists
I curated geometric abstract inspiration from three inspirational artists; Sonia Delaunay, Piet Mondrian and Astrid Stoeppel.
Also featured is the work of a particularly creative rodent, probably called Andy.
