I was first introduced to this style of art by my good friend, and fellow artist, Pat Leapley. When I first saw him putting down dot after dotfor many hoursand then there was an amazing picture that emerged from the paperWOWIt was amazing! Thus, I had gotten my first taste of Pointillism, and I was hooked. What is more artistically insane than putting down hundreds of thousands of tiny dots (.3mm to 1.0mm) to make an artworkNOTHING is more insane. So, I had my KOH-I-NOOR RAPIDOGRAPH TECHNICAL PENS, black ink, THE DOORS (because that was the only music at the time I could do this work to), and a few other 'items' helpful to create this type of work. Of course, Seurat was a big influence, even though my style and medium used was rather different. Not too many of my original works still exist, but there are some still in existence with collectors who commissioned my work.Now, I've come up with a method to design Pointillism Photography, and I don't cheat by using some plugin! I have missed working in this style, so this collection is my application of Pointillism to Photography.TAGS:abstract, black, blue, dots, expressionism, extreme, insanity, johnson, Malaysia, modernism, Nawfal, penang, photography, POINT-ART, pointillism, seurat,
Nawfal Johnson Nur, Malaysia Member Since September 2006 Artist Statement IMAGEKIND: ARTIST BIO — Nawfal Johnson — Smokephotographist Beginnings: When I pick up my camera ... when I compose the subjects in the frame ... and, when I plan and set up my lighting, I have one thing in mind — To take a better photograph than the last time.
I have been using a camera as a hobbyist since I was 12 years old, and then as a freelance professional since 1998.
Photography is a Madness for Me — My Work: I have been a long-time Freelance Stage & Dance Photographer; nevertheless, I focus much of my energy designing fine art Abstract, and, Abstract Expressionism Photography. I also design SMOKE-ART PHOTOGRAPHY, and that is the art style I focused on in my 2011 book, titled, ETHEREAL DREAMS and HOPE.
My Artistic Influences: My main artistic influences are Jackson Pollock and Robert Henri. As for photographic influences, I have always drawn inspiration from photographers Carl Fischer, and Andreas Feininger.
