Fantastic Dot Art of Nikki Douthwaite
Art work that takes ages and will hurt your eyes.
“My work for the last three years has been based around two mediums; dot art (also known as confetti art) and collage. My dot art is made by using coloured dots produced by a hole punch, and painstakingly stuck on, one by one, with a pair of tweezers. This idea came from the works of Georges-Pierre Seurat, studying his pointillist paintings from the late 19th century. My collages are made from magazine articles relevant to the subject of the picture.”
