Another look into the sublime through the use of colour, this time inspired by the works of Mark Rothko. Although almost completely unidentifiable to the works of the John Martin and Caspar David Friedrich, the same principal of colour and light lies within the Romanticists works. Rothko's use of glaring colours paired with darker counterparts would create a sense of awe and eeriness in the viewer. It might also help that they're usually gigantic pieces as opposed to my small scale canvas, though i think the idea still comes across well.
