DOTILLISM: ELSPETH MCLEAN
Elspeth McLean is an Australian raised, now Canadian residing artist who creates her intensely colourful and intricate artworks entirely out of dots created with acrylic paint and a paintbrush. Her refined technique has grown and expanded into the vibrant, precise and soul engaging artworks she creates today. Elspeth feels blessed to be part of the world wide community that uses dots in their artwork. For Elspeth, painting dots is a meditative and grounding experience which is so enjoyable she has dedicated her life to it. Through her art she hopes to connect people with their inner child and to bring some vibrancy and joy to their lives. Elspeth’s love for colour and intricate detail are how she “expresses and celebrates the colours of her soul”. Through her artwork she explores the world she experiences around her. A lover of travelling, it is the new and beautiful landscapes she explores that become subjects of her art. Elspeth also has a great reverence with the seasons, cosmos, mythology and ancient and traditional art that also influence her creations. She believes in the healing influences of colour and art which led her to achieving her Diploma in Art Therapy. Since 2006 Elspeth has worked as a free-lance artist selling her wares at markets, designing logo's, painting murals, exhibiting in local café’s and galleries and creating an extensive internet presence. She has exhibited her artwork throughout Australia, New Zealand and Canada. |
Marylin Monroe Pixel Art Mural Inspired by Andy Warhol´s Artwork
Andy Warhol was the most successful and highly paid commercial illustrator in New York even before he began to make art destined for galleries. Nevertheless, his screenprinted images of Marilyn Monroe, soup cans, and sensational newspaper stories, quickly became synonymous with Pop art. He emerged from the poverty and obscurity of an Eastern European immigrant family in Pittsburgh, to become a charismatic magnet for bohemian New York, and to ultimately find a place in the circles of High Society. For many his ascent echoes one of Pop art's ambitions, to bring popular styles and subjects into the exclusive salons of high art. His elevation to the status of a popular icon represented a new kind of fame and celebrity for a fine artist.
