Paint splatter

Drip painting is a form of abstract art in which paint is dripped or poured onto the canvas. This style of action painting was experimented with in the first half of the twentieth century. Were used various not conventional objects like tools, hard brushes, sticks, syringes, so that they create big and full of energy abstract work. All these materials transported in the modern age and replacing these tools, with digital media (video, sound) in the beginning they create an abstract picture composed from drips the one next to another but in the end it takes a shape of a person which is the ring that links the past of abstract art with the modern world of information.
