I heart Hunderwasser. Last year, a friend had a small and shiny book sitting on their desk..Ever the magpie I had to investigate what was inside. My nosiness paid off as I was given an imaginative visual feast of colour, line and pattern. Although it was his visual style that grabbed my attention at first, Hunderwasser's underlying philosophy has continued to take my interest. I'd like to take more time to investigate further into his beliefs.When you look at his pictures they just shout...wow nature is amazing and exciting! I especially love how he conveys his love and concern for the natural world -a very serious subject- in a accessible way. His paintings at first may seem slightly childish but his understanding of colour and pattern is very sophisticated. Hurrah for Hunderwasser!
I've been wanting reference work through one of my projects for a while now....I think I may just have my chance. I love how he rejected the use of straight lines in his work due to the fact that straight lines belong to man, not of nature. A really simple idea but one that links his phillosophy with the way he actually draws. I like that.
