Ulster Museum| John Latham | Exhibition

While back at home I also visited the Ulster Museum and the art they had to show there. One of the works that jumped out at me was that of John Latham. Latham liked painting with a twist adding found objects to his work created an unique style. The pieces where he added the books he would title them with 'skoob'. Books backwards. The reason this piece in particular appealed to me was use of found objects with in the work.

This definitely inspired to incorporate more elements into my work. I was already inspired with Jasmir Creed and Mike Pratt but seeing this kind of work live in person is something in else. It makes an impact and leaves an impression. It has definitely left an impression on me. Hopefully I can incorporate more of these elements in my work next semester. I love the textures and dimensions it brings to simple painting. Depending on the history of the item too it could add a lot of context and that is something I struggle with sometimes but have been improving on through out the year, especially with exhibitions I have been seeing and the research I have been doing.
