Mixed Media abstract art Los Angeles

 One of the most talked about abstract mixed media artists in Los Angeles is a talented artist named Clara Berta. Clara's works have been used in TV shows and commercials like the Super Bowl commercial with Jason Momoa. You can also see her works on a popular show called Two Broke Girls.

Interior designers love Clara's works because of the use of colors and the textures and fluid style of the works.

What is mixed media art?

Mixed Media Art can be defined in a few ways, here is the internet definition:

Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work, but not a work of "multimedia art."

If the above definition seems lacking, it's because it is. Mixed media art can involve metal, coffee grounds, paper, wood, canvas, plastic, sand, dirt, shoes, spoons, motors, wire, fishing line, cue tips... getting the idea? Mixed media art can involve anything... and that means human parts or animal or bugs, or whatever. Some will see a surreal work and categorize it as a surreal work, overlooking the fact that it is a mixed media work. On one of my many trips to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, I saw an exhibit that was one of my least favorites of all time as it displayed stuffed birds impaled on sharp sticks that were anchored by balls of mud or earth. It took a few seconds and I remember saying... "uh, let's get out of here". I had one of my kids with me so that display seemed a bit harsh for ther viewing.

To give you a better idea of how an artist will use various materials to create a work, I turn to the popular artist Clara Berta who has a studio in downtown Los Angeles.

Clara uses all types of materials in her works ranging from fabric to coffee grounds, here are a few examples:

"Whispers"

The appeal of the above work is clearly the impressive texture of the work.
Quite alot of mixed media artists tend to look at a canvas and then do whatever...
Berta's works seem to have a more deliberate and thought out feel to them
as the form of the work and composition are telling a story without using
a traditional image. This style seems to fit well with todays interior designers
as her works are being placed in high profile locations.

Here is another example of Clara's work, notice again the texture and
feel of the work and the balance and composition.

"Symphony of Love"
by
Clara Berta

When you look at vintage mixed media art, you see for the most part
an assortment of Collage Art, or images that have been cut and mixed 
together, or a drawing that includes an image cut from a magazine etc.

As the years progressed and mixed media begain to take on new form, popular 
artists like Picasso, Dali or Warhol begain to change thier canvas, but not so
much the elements they put on the canvas. If you look back at works
by these artists, you will find that they painted with acrylic, oil, ink and watercolor,
and for a while it was canvas and paper, but that changed and became metal, ceramic, lucite,
lambskin, rice paper, wood and other materials.

If you are interested in learning more about mixed media art
or are an artist who is interested in creating mixed media art
that goes beyond what you tend to see in most galleries, contact
the artist Clara Berta for help.

Mixed Media Art



mixed media


noun 
1.
  1. the integrated use of different forms of media, esp within the arts
  2. (as modifier): mixed-media musical presentations
Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 2012 Digital Edition
This is a new work by Mixed Media artist Clara Berta.

Mixed media art comes in many forms, abstract images can be
created with textures or kept flat on the canvas or surface.
In some works you will find fabric, coffee grounds, wood, metal and more,
all with the intention of creating a unique texture.
Some abstract artists like to keep the work relatively flat and work
with oil, acrylic or water color only.

Abstract Art

Abstract
ab·stract art
noun
art that does not attempt to represent external, recognizable reality but seeks to achieve its 
effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures.

Abstract art also known as mixed media art, has been around since the start. 
Splashes of color and primitive linework can be seen in works by some of the 
best known museum artists and when the work is organic and clean, it can 
provoke thoughts and emotions in a similar way to realistic or impressionistic art.

A good example of a successful abstract artist is Jackson Pollock who died at an 
early age due to a car accident, his memorial was held at the Museum of Modern Art. 
For an artist, being rememberd at MOMA is as good as it gets.

Today we find that interior design is relying more and more on abstract or mixed 
media because the client does not have to worry about images that might influence 
or affect viewers in a negative way.

Colors are now being researched to find what affect they have on humans. Blue as 
an example is said to be an inhibitor to hunger or "good for dieting"

An example of a successful Los Angeles abstract painter is 
Clara Berta who holds regular events, shows and  has work in a well known Los Angeles Art gallery.

The nice thing about abstract, you can drip, throw or brush your way to success!
