This blog is a response to Jessie’s blog. I really like Julie Mehretu’s work because of the atmosphere she creates with her line work. I am drawn to the explosive quality in her large scale drawings. Her drawings remind me of Matthew Ritchie’s work also. There is a lot of depth, energy and movement in his paintings. His work also has a similar bursting element. He also creates installations that are really dynamic and intricate. This is a great link to his work with lots of slide show images.
