Art 21

                                                                 Paige Smurro 

Name of Artist - Avery Singer

Two words or phrases that describe the artist's work: "Solitude" and "The technique tells its own story".

                Element/Principle: Line - The artist uses harsh intersecting lines across the face that make the image look broken up and distorted. These lines interrupt the realistic portrait and guide the viewer's eye around the face instead of letting it rest in one place. It then creates visual tension and gives the artwork an uneasy, fragmented feeling.

Element/Principle: Unity - The artwork feels unified because the artist uses mostly gray tones throughout. The repeated, overlapping images help connect the figure to the background, making everything feel like it belongs together, even though there is a lot of visual complexity.
