Art Love: Eugene Andolsek

It's been a long time since I've done an Art Love post. I came across the work of Eugene Andolsek a few weeks ago and have been mesmerized by his kaleidoscopic drawings ever since. Eugene was born in 1921 and began to draw in 1953. He created his drawings using graph paper and a straight edge. His works were never displayed for anyone. Once he finished a drawing, it was tucked away in a closet. He didn't even consider himself an artist!

"His drawings gave him a means to cope with his insecurities and dislike for his job as a stenographer for the Rock Island Railroad. Concentrating on the intricacies of each drawing would release him from worries and make his humble surroundings disappear as he withdrew into his self made world of dazzling colors and the space he created on graph paper."

I hope you enjoy his works as much as I have. Check out more here.
