Final Look and Development Ideas

In the end, I positioned my final piece in a composition explored and discussed in this previous post.

I had the larger painting as the focal point,
raised to eye level.

I then propped the three other paintings above the large piece.
The composition reminded me almost of looking out of window
panes.

I included captions, with titles and descriptions alongside the
paintings, as well as incorporating my sketchbook and a sheet
for feedback. 

One of my key development points for myself was a better presentation. I needed to use the table in order to have the painting stood at eye level, but I could not find anything more suited to doing so. As the table was white, I thought it could be possible for it to blend to the wall, but it protruded outwards too much.
In beginning my project looking at Arte Povera, I remembered an artist I had looked at earlier on, Lauren Seiden. She created a piece that grabbed my intrigue, a piece titled The Future is Lost in Yesterday's News, a graphite and mixed medium piece on newspaper.

Lauren Seiden: The Future is Lost in 
Yesterday's News.
Graphite and mixed medium on
newspaper.

I had the idea, a little too late into my project, of propping the large painting on a selection of books, inspired by this piece. Of course, I was unable to, but still wanted to consider the idea in my planning, nevertheless.
