Drip Painting
Drip painting is a technique in which paint is poured or dripped onto a canvas, creating spontaneous and dynamic patterns. This method allows the artist to explore the physical properties of paint, such as viscosity and flow, resulting in unique textures and forms. It is often associated with the Abstract Expressionism movement, which emphasizes emotional expression and individual creativity.
The most famous proponent of drip painting is Jackson Pollock, who developed this style in the late 1940s. By using tools like brushes, sticks, and even his hands, Pollock created large-scale works that invite viewers to engage with the energy and movement of the paint.
