Abstract artistTyler Foustis known for his intricate line drawings formed from one continuous, non-intersecting line.
Lines direct eyes and can create some interesting illusions, Foust tells My Modern Met.
And that is why the artist has been fascinated with line art since he was just a kid.
But that fascination didnt immediately lead him to pursue the life of an artist.
So, I came up with this idea to draw repetitive line-work during lectures.
The idea was to draw on autopilot with no pre-determination of what the final piece would look like.
I decided to re-create my style by composing pictures built from one non-intersecting line, the artist explains.
By one line, I dont mean that I did not lift the pen.
I simply mean that the picture itself was composed of one giant line.
I fell in love with the one-line style, and I began to incorporate shapes with the negative space.
I cant erase pen on canvas.
The most challenging aspect is trying not to cut off my line path.
It is like playing Snake, but losing is a lot more frustrating.
Though, that wasnt always the case.
Ironically, I never enjoyed art classes in school, Foust admits.
Once I mastered this concept, my style organically formed itself.
