№10 “Angulus Novus” (New Angle) 2025

I find the work of Piet Mondrian fascinating. Not only was the stuff he did strange for his time (early-1900s), it kept popping up in design again and again decades later. One example of this was a collection of Yves Saint Laurent dresses in 1965.

The idea for this drawing started from the thought; what if the pattern had been applied to 50s fashion? So, I chose a few reference images and did a composition in photoshop. I wanted to expanded on the the theme of hard angles and solid color surfaces to the surroundings also, and this is how it came out.

Pencil and markers on paper, 11x18cm.
