I'd never heard of Laura Owens before her book grabbed my attention in the library, but I absolutely love her work. She's a fine artist, not an illustrator, but uses loads of flat shapes within her work, combined with pattern and painterly detail to create beautiful worlds.
I've also been revisiting Henri Matisse's cut-outs. The exhibition at the Tate was one of the best things I've ever seen.
Matisse's flat, coloured are so potent, and so full of vibrancy and motion.
Spending an afternoon getting re-acquainted with other shape work was the boost I needed: A reminder that SHAPE doesn't have to mean SOULLESS
