    It seems that the Renaissance (1300-1700), methods of presenting the surrounding world in a flat pictorial plane using linear perspective, has dictated the way artists have worked for countless centuries. Linear perspective is a technique used by artists that uses line to create the illusion of depth and space within their work. However this approach is only a representation created using a singular eye. This method of working is suggested to have originated from Leon Battista Alberti’s (1404-1472) metaphor of painting, he proposes that a work of art can be comparable to ‘… an open window through which the subject to be painted is seen’ (1435-6).

Nevertheless something interesting started happening in the twentieth century, a sparse number of individual artists started challenging this manner of working. Since the birth of photography there was no need for art to serve a documentation purpose anymore or to be representational, traditional ways of…
