Torn Drawing collage (after Hans Arp)


Torn Drawing (after Hans Arp), RTomens, 2019
I rarely attempt a virtual copy of other work, whilst often being inspired by either a style,  approach and to some extent content. Today, though, I went for a version of one of Hans Arp's Torn Drawing series. The patterns are from a photo I took a few years ago. I think mine retains an original feel whilst being blatantly derivative. It's close enough, though, to prompt honesty on my behalf because I couldn't hide the truth!
