I am taking a modernist approach to the stamp design. These images speak to my vision.
Clockwise, from top left:
Le Bateau, Henri Matisse, gauche on paper, 1954
This uses line to suggest of movement and atmosphere. It is simple in its construction but intriguing in how the audience must draw from abstraction to see what the image conveys.
Moyra, unknown artist, ink on paper, contemporary
This is suggestive of a figure, and uses only one line.
Le Lanceur de Couteaux, Henri Matisse, paper cut-out, 1947.
This is a study on shape and color. The repeating patterns add unity to the piece, while the figures are suggestive of human forms in motion. Negative space is boldly manipulated.
Sketch for a building, Frank Gehry, ink on paper, 2005.
This line drawing is evocative of built forms in a landscape. The line at the bottom suggests dimension to the landscape, as it comes toward the viewer.
Diagrams for Lovejoy Fountain, Portland, OR, Lawrence Halprin, ink on paper, 1990s.
This is a whimsical diagram which uses strong colors and loose lines to make very specific suggestions about the place and to label what things are. The arrows evoke movement, and the difference between a section view and a perspective, along with their differing scales, allow the viewer to understand the space in multiple dimensions.
