Artist Annette Turow suggests creative solutions to problem solving. Examples of her work illustrate how she solved the problem of abstracting the torso form.

 

Creative Solutions in Problem Solving




I completed a series of "torso" paintings with an abstract approach to the form as the culmination of two years of paintings which dealt with the form of the female torso.

Interpretation is also a creative process. Starting with the actual torso and moving into abstraction was the challenge of this series.

As always in my work, the surfaces influence the movement in each composition to create depth and contrast.Color is the dominant force throughout this series.
Sticking to one basic idea and experimenting with a series of solutions is a process that generates new ideas if you stay open to unexpected results or new combinations of elements you did not anticipate.

 Follow
your own lead.
