Omnidirectional painting
|
|
Omnidirectional painting, developed by artist Terry Ward, is a method for creating two-dimensional art work which is meant to hang flat upon a wall in any direction: vertically, horizontally, or at almost any angle. The style does away with conventional notions of "top" or "bottom" --no "up" or "down". The pictorial composition is arranged to give few clues about which way is "up". Art gallery staff are free to hang the paintings in any configuration. The method differs somewhat from certain past artwork meant to be hung upside-down (particularly the creations of postmodern/neo-expressionist artist Georg Baselitz) in that the work is meant from the beginning to be hung at any angle. With a typical omnidirectional painting, it would not be clear to the viewer that the image is "upside-down" since the composition would give few clues as to which direction (if any) was meant to be the true "top". |
