9 - Distortion



Distortion is a departure from an accepted perception of a form or object. When using distortion the artist purposely changes or exaggerates the forms of nature. This can often be used to provoke an emotional response or emphasize design elements.




In this work of art the artist has used to create emphasis on the hands and feet of a person. At first the image just seems like a bunch of shapes but as your eye move around the piece one can start to see the shapes forming more distinct figures like the head, hands and feet. From this one can gather that the image is of a person.
