Cy Twombly

Cy Twombly has opened my eyes to the notion of text, writing and gesture in art. it is from his work i learned that text can become something visual, as an image rather than just text, and can be used in different more personal ways.

without Twombly I don't think i would have noticed just how much contemporary artists rely on text and the understood conventions of speech and conversation in their works. i think i would like to strip this back and show my own understanding on what text can be in art.
