He often amazes people with his minimalist and fascinating works,

You don't need bold and complex colors,

There is no need for special theme composition,

Just a simple thread,

It can let the audience see the essence of the painting at a glance.

When most people learn to draw,

Basically, we start from dots, lines and surfaces.

Then slowly from a simple basic framework,

To color creation and detailed depiction of characters,

This is an inevitable learning process.

Frederick Forrest

Forrest graduated from Paris Industrial Design at Les Ateliers,

Forrest, who studied industrial design, spent his daily life I like hand painting very much,

In his later artistic creation,

I am also particularly obsessed with minimalist aesthetics and subtle style.

Captures the viewer's eye in delicate ink.

▲ "Dancing Woman" 14 x 21 cm, now Forrest's line art is unique, and his works are extremely popular. Now Forrest's original works are almost hard to find, and he can only collect his printed works

As Forrest recalled:

He began to learn to draw when he was young,

I believe this is also what most people like to do when they are children;

A pen, a piece of paper,

Although young, he has a considerable passion for painting,

A stubborn temper that doesn't draw or eat.

Forrest was born into a more female family

-The lives of four sisters and mothers,

So under his observation,

Compared with men, women have an essential feminine difference.

Women have always been his main source of inspiration.

An attitude, gesture, posture and body shape,

The classic details of each painting are the understanding and memory of women.

Even though Forrest had such a passion for painting

He never took an additional painting training class either

Keep the original love of painting,

And basic theoretical knowledge of painting learning,

Forrest carries out a creative practice that is both simple and stunning;

The best ideas are never obtained by systematic courses.

Forrest, who is unique, relies on his own imagination,

From nothing,

He has a unique talent for painting in his heart.

After being admitted to the university, he continued to study artistic creation in depth,

Of course, it's not just about improving your painting skills,

He has his own skills for professional life,

There is still more time to get the design right.

Combining painting and design with each other,

Forrest gradually went from design to painting.

▲ I paint every day, It's not to be able to create what you see as it is, but to express it with the simplest "symbol". Creation is also an attitude towards oneself. How to strive for excellence in one's works, That is, through different degrees of practice, a body sketch, gestures, hand position

My work is a blend of painting, illustration, art and design, and no matter what form it takes, it will provide a new artistic perspective for creation. Although it is drawing on paper, it is only the beginning of an idea... The cultivation of creativity is to grow with one's own curiosity and practice, and Do not forget your initiative mind will always succeed.

 

Painting is a process of creation and discovery.

Forrest kept practicing,

There are more than 1,000 minimalist paintings ranging from basic to minimalist works.

Never borrow from any picture creation.

In his pen,

The most amazing thing is to rely on human line drawing in memory.

Don't make any drafts,

A few ink strokes,

But it can accurately describe a person's behavior,

It also leaves a huge imagination for everyone.

Such creation is no better than portrait painting and landscape painting,

Although few, they pay great attention to a solid foundation.

It also tests the ideas of personal painting.

At the beginning of creation,

Forrest would try to sell his line art on the streets.

Today's Forrest relies on professional knowledge and individual line creation,

It has aroused the love of various famous brand companies.

This includes Lancome, Chanel, Rains, Cereal Magazine, Vogue Australia, Kinfolk Magazine, ShowStudio, Gaumont and more

▲ In 2001, at the height of industrial design research in New York, Forrest tried to sell his minimalist art as a passion, without any plan, just for mere fun

First it's fun, then it's art.

Forrest uses a thread to make the audience "think wildly".

No one sees the value of a single line,

They are all appreciating the connotation form of special effects flying all over the sky.

It's such a bold idea that makes him a unique popular element.

Forrest is known for his professionalism, but also for his paintings.

Especially the depiction of female body structure,

This is also the greatest charm of lines,

Obviously, there are not too many details,

But let everyone I am very impressed!

So far, his achievements are worthy of the name,

Does such lines give people more room for reverie?

Appreciate and learn more works
