Rothko Influence......

I've noticed a similar likeness to Rothko's floating rectangle work in the recent pieces I've been experimenting with. I love his ability to create aesthetics that are moody and atmospheric. They remind me of climatical shifts and changes. I also love the restricted aspects and the way the aligned and vertical shapes portray a likeness to the definitions of open spaces, His reference to vast spaces, the sublime and aspects of a 'limitless immensity' resonates with me and the vast spaces of the landscape in which I place myself within and inhabit (if only for a short time)
His way of exhibiting is also interesting and the way he hung these works at a low eye level so the viewer could be more intimate with the work. This is something I definitely need to take into consideration when exhibiting as I really want the viewer to get close to any work I produce and hone in on details as well as see the work in its entirety from a distance.
