Making Pendulum Paintings

Making Pendulum Paintings

Artist Cole Newman uses the power of physics to make large-format paintings. He starts by swinging a can of paint over a moving canvas.

Performance artist Tony Orrico is known as “The Human Spirograph” due to the recurring geometry featured in his works. He creates many of his pieces by lying on the floor and making repetitive gestures with his arms as he rotates his body. His technique results in a perfect balance of symmetry and human imperfection.
