I’m looking into Gerard Richter Because of his obsession with closeness and the study of colors. I found this picture on his website and have included the url. I’m thinking about how small things look up close.

ANTHYLLIS VULNERARIA – 2013
In contrast to the highly complex, controlled micrographs and the digital clarity of the photographic plant portraits, these spontaneous ink studies fuse accident and artifice to capture the emotional essence of wildflowers.

Gerard Richter got me thinking about things up close and so I went and found a artist who is working with several scientists to study and make art out of the microscopic. This was one of his works on plants and I found it really interesting that he was looking into the emotional essence of a plant. Its like all the detailed art you find in botany books but it’s got his own voice.
