Artists who incorporate or base there work on numbers?

i am doing a national diploma in art and my final project is going to be based on numbers especially those that make individuals feel a certain way. for example the number 13 is surrounded fear appearently and makes people feel uneasy.
as part of my research i need a number of artists that base there work on number or incoropate numbers into there work, for example, Jasper Johns. any halp would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Perhaps the best known number painting is Charles Demuth’s famous “The figure Five in Gold”

The artist that probably has the most fun with using num,bers as subject matter is Robert Indiana who is most well known for his LOVE paintings and sculptures.
In Robert Indiana’s paintings and sculptures numbers are used to tell narratives. The numbers work on varying levels: they can be seen as a quantity, a date, a month, but also a specific form as in the bulbous, doubled, hollowcentred 8: its curves returning into itself infinitely. As with his LOVE sculpture the Numbers contrast and confuse the way we look at everyday symbols; to read the word as a word is no longer to see it as a purely formal arrangement of line and colour and shape; to see the word or number as formal design is momentarily to forget its meaning.
Certain numbers have special significance to the artist, encoding references to Indiana’s personal, and our collective history. The artist maintains strong, if not visceral, memories of his very earliest days that still influence his work.

Robert Indiana number symbolism:
"0: A wheel in motion, the neverending cycle of creativity.
1: Static, egotistical,
2: Is created from 1; from Adam came Eve. `You must be 2 to love’ says Indiana. Its curving form anticipates the form of 3.
3: The expression of the relationship between 2 and, is the fruit of their coming together. Its three dynamic and aggressive points provide a foretaste of the geometry of 4.
4: Develops downwards, heavy and slow. It is material restriction; it encloses within four walls, but it scatters to the four winds
5: Unstable, combining the straight and the curved. Reminiscent of the five senses, it is in the middle of the first 8 numbers, midway between 19. It is the point on which the balance pivots.
6: Is reminiscent to Phillips 66 the petroleum company that Indiana’s Father worked for, as well as the iconic Route 66, on which his Father drove whilst working for Phillips and which was celebrated in the great American Songbook `Get your kicks on Route 66’, The figure 6 is, in fact, an homage to the artists father because of the close identification of that number with him. Indianas father Earl was born in the sixth month in a family of six children and this father was to eventually leave his own family and head west taking Route 66. Complete curvaceous shape evokes the gentle motion of the rocking chair, the room of the womb, the everharmonious beginning that is like a seed germinating outwards.
7: The colours of the rainbow, the 7 notes of the musical scale, the days of the week, the 7 sacraments, the 7 deadly sins, the 7 cardinal virtues. It also recalls childhood memories fairy tales such as the seven wives of bluebeard etc. Its shape similar to that of 1, derives its stability from its near horizontal upperline. 7 is developed in heaven, it is airy, it is a symbol of deep thought and concentration, but also of solitude.
8: A rounded stunningly stable shape, containing a cross at the centre (a recurring motif in the works of Indiana) showing this point, a primordial point, a naval, an umbilicus. 8 is the number of Indiana’s Mother, Carmen, and this intimate relationship fills the 8 with sweetness. Reflecting the head atop the womb, it speaks of caresses and tender feeling; and on its side depicts infinity.
9: Or the reflection of 6. It is the end of the sequence, and thus responds to 1. It does not produce all the numbers, but instead contains them all. Every number added to 9 finds itself again when reduced: . It is the end of progress, the end of time, death."
