POLLOCK INSPIRED

Jackson Pollock’s striking approach of abstract expressionism unhinged inspiration for the Pollock Inspired series in Wesley and Alexis’s Human Canvas collection. He revolutionized contemporary art by painting abstract images representing life & culture. However, his art depicted humanity in different unidentifiable shapes and forms. He was widely noticed for his technique of splattering paint onto canvas from all angles - also known as ‘action painting.’ This movement was acclaimed, yet criticized for disrupting the traditional methodologies of art and painting. Pollock’s contribution made it possible for modern artists to depict humanity through infinite forms, shapes, mediums, colors, and angles.
