Artist Mathieu Tremblin recently took to the streets of France on a rather quixotic mission to improve the legibility of ugly graffiti. Mimicking the scale, color, and layering of each tag, Tremblin created his own replica in a perfectly crisp font. It’s hard to say if either version is more aesthetically pleasing, but he definitely gets an ‘A’ for effort. (via Design You Trust, thnx Nikki!)
This morning, I’d like you to decode an artwork in the gallery: DRAW WHAT YOU SEE.
So many times with Abstract Expressionism, viewers “see” something that is not there. This is your brain trying to make sense of what you are looking at.
—Find a painting in the gallery
—Draw what you see in the chaos of the image
