I'm not knowledge enough of the style to provide meaningful feedback. So take everything I say with a massive grain of salt.
I think it's generally lovely and interesting to look at.
It feels a little top-heavy to me, though it's not necessarily bad if it's intentional. I think the yellow square heavily draws the eye and weights the space.
The dripping paint is a really interesting counterpoint, but it's so gentle my eye tends to be drawn upward again, leaving the bottom right hand corner largely unexplored.
I think the use of texture is really good and creates interesting contrast that keeps me engaged with the piece.
As a first-time critic of the style to a first-time artist of the same, I think it's really good and if you have the time and resources would benefit from exploring it further.
That's a frank, honest, and rather helpful critique. At this stage of exploration here, much more could be discouraging, so that's great!
To OP: The whole piece is a confident result of hours in this style, and clear focus on a few key elements of it. Keep working on those and try out new concepts within the style as you progress. Have fun, and keep up the good work! 🤌🏼
I genuinely appreciate the critique critique. I was aiming for authentic, encouraging feedback from a layperson perspective.
Art is so funny.
For me. The yellow square is "unremarkable". I keep staring at the drips and love how the solid blocks are framing it. I wouldn't change anything about this painting. It is lovely.
