After studying the visual components of my own work so far, I realized that what I find very effective in a lot of paintings and drawings that I like is the creation of some kind of gap or hole, through the use of black or some other kind of severe contrast in color, material or texture. These breaks in the picture are often seen as mouths, windows, wounds, or anything where the harshness of the dark color used, contrasted with its surroundings, renders the void both infinite and severely two-dimensional. After finding the examples shown here, I'm going to work next week on re-creating that relationship in different colors and mediums.
