Piet Mondrian

The leading lines that are present within my photographs remind me of abstract painter Piet Mondrian's works. He paintings withhold elements of block coloured squares and rectangles in and around solid black lines in which he uses as the framing within his works, the solid lines act as leading lines to gage to viewers attention and also direct it to the block coloured geometric shapes. The colours that he chooses to use within his works are black and the primary colours blue, red and yellow. 

Although Arriva does not really include red within their colour pallet they still have a range of tones with blues and yellows as well as the use of some black objects, much like Mondrian they also use white to convey the idea of negative space.
