Multifractal Structure In Nonrepresentational Art, Jonas R. Mureika, C. C. Dyer, G. C. Cupchik
Jonas Mureika
Multifractal analysis techniques are applied to patterns in several abstract expressionist artworks, painted by various artists. The analysis is carried out on two distinct types of structures: the physical patterns formed by a specific color (“blobs”) and patterns formed by the luminance gradient between adjacent colors (“edges”). It is found that the multifractal analysis method applied to “blobs” cannot distinguish between artists of the same movement, yielding a multifractal spectrum of dimensions between about 1.5 and 1.8. The method can distinguish between different types of images, however, as demonstrated by studying a radically different type of art. The data suggest …
Meditative Art: A Diversion From Stress And Anxiety, Hannah T. Justis 4239670221
Meditative Art: A Diversion From Stress And Anxiety, Hannah T. Justis 4239670221
Undergraduate Honors Theses

Within the past two years, my drawings began to take on a meditative therapeutic process.

Nature, Essence And Spirit: An Artistic Process Of Space, Lines And Color From The Level Of Cells To The Large Oceanic Water World, Odra O. Arriaga
Theses and Dissertations
The methods, experimentations, philosophies and influential artists mentioned in this thesis all form part of my artistic exploration and art from the level of cells to the large oceanic water world. As an artist of Fine Arts at the University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley, my main emphasis is to associate these concepts with my personal experiences, cultural traditions and artistic perspectives with my likes for lines, colors and spaces in what I called, Nature, Essence and Spirit. Furthermore, my artistic approach was mostly influenced by the views of artists such as, Vasily Kandinsky, Frank Stella, Piet Mondrian, Paul Klee, …
Filtering 1 And 2, Yun Shin
Filtering 1 And 2, Yun Shin
Northwestern Review
These two abstract art pieces are titled Filtering 1 and 2. Emphasizing simplicity of materials and relationship to family, they are layered tracings of the artist’s parents’ signatures in the packing slips of things sent her from her parents in South Korea. The pieces took eleven months of painstaking tracing work onto carbon paper until all the carbon was gone. The pieces were selected for exhibit in the A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, New York.
