Mail Art is a populist art movement centered on the creation and exchange of small-scale artworks through the postal service. It developed out of the Fluxus movement in the 1950s and 1960s and has since evolved into a global art movement. Ray Johnson is recognized as the first mail artist, and his New York School is considered the first network of mail artists. Mail artists rely heavily on a network to exchange their works, often creating a community of artists connected through the postal system.
Acrylic on paper is a technique that involves using acrylic paints on various paper types and textures. Artists often choose watercolor paper with smooth or rough surfaces to apply acrylics using watercolor techniques such as bleeding, washing, and spattering. This approach allows for a wide range of effects, combining the flexibility of acrylics with the delicate qualities of watercolor methods.
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
