BLOG ASSIGNMENT NOVEMBER

      (Q1)

T.V EYE ON YOU, 2010

           I chose this work because, by just using found materials in my garage, I was able to create a television set with cardboard boxes,glue,cellotape,glass,an old pair of rabbit ears,my bedside lamp,a couple of card board cut outs and the only thing I needed to purchase was the coloured cellophane.                  I was really struck with the coloured  lighting inside and outside of the t.v set. As for the reflection on the table the process of the surface light, gave it a life of rainbow colour all of its own. With only one light source your eyes are tricked into seeing two spheres of light inside the T.V one could be the Sun and the second Mars, with its red tint. Could I have unwittingly encased a small section of our solar system?

"JUST HANGING AROUND"

    This one stands out for me due to its subject matter, with the Klu Klux Klan members with hooks jabbed into the backs of their heads, but there is no blood also their stature is still erect this shows how they are too Dumb to feel pain and to Dumb to realise the situation they are in.I think the colour of this work does it alot of justice the light blue and the black and white tiles seem to be in harmoney .The word rasicim fascinates me and everything that is associated with it, re the Klan.

"CHAIN CHAINEY"

      The original work was pencil shading on paper, it took a while but it became a work of love.The technique of using the same content over four times and the perspective of different colour variations give this work a real texture,volume and weight.I really appreciate the colours that I made the dark green,the reddish pink,the aqua blue and then the navy blue.In all a complete work.

(Q3)[A]”T.V EYE ON YOU” the word REFLECTION is relevant to this work beacause the reflection of the colours and the spheres are pertinant to the whole piece .for example the reflection of colours on the table.on the sides everywhere.

[B] TECHNIQUE is the word Ive used in the “CHAIN CHAINRY” work using the same picture not once but four times joinrd together and the only diffrence is the colours being used.

[c] RACISM used in the work “JUST HANGING AROUND” is relevant due to the content being three Klu Klux Kan.The KKK is a white supremacy group established in Pulaski, Tennessee in May 1866.

THE POWER AND THE PASSION, EXHIBITION

WELCOME TO THE POWER AND THE PASSION EXHIBITION

 Hello and Welcome again, my exhibition which includes  Salvador Dali,Francis Bacon,M.C Escher(Maurilo Cornelius),Tom Friedman and H.R Giger(Hans Rudolf).These eclectic artists do have a common theme, its their theme of perception or interpretation of their worlds or minds, conscious or unconscious we shall never know, but each artist has the Passion for the arts, the passion to put a piece of themselves onto a material, no mater what that maybe,the passion to show beauty,racisim, religeon,feminisim,poofterism. The revolting,disturbing,violent,brutality, and the passion to show the conditions of our own fear-ridden world savagely dehumanized by us all at some time.And the Power to go out and show it to other people, the genuine and the not so genuine who can lie to you straight faced as soon as your back is turned they scoff and laugh at you and your work, but thay have the power, in fact all Artist have that power to keep on creating our own works of art. Now relax as you walk threw, and enjoy this exhibition. Smokers this is a smoking gallery so light up please feel free,Non smokers Ive provided a small space outside if you think you need some fresh air, and again ENJOY THE SHOW.

 

Francis Bacon, German Painter, Born 1938 . ‘Three Studies Of Isabel Rawsthone’, 1967,Oil on canvas.The form of Bacon’s painting is basically three faces, all but one looking as if their flesh has been eaten away only leaving bone and bit of flesh.The one face that does look normal except for a couple of large patches of discolouration on her face, but still has a full fleshy face.Her is head is turned looking back over her shoulder maybe trying to escape while the woman in a blue dress sitting at a table, reaches with key in hand to lock the door on her guest,lock her out as her face is now growtesqe.But whos coming threw the door face first? with his long face and gaping mouth, her Lover?

Salvador Dali,1904-1989, Spanish Painter,’ The Persistance Of Time’,1931 Oil on canvas. The context of this work shows a connection between perception of time and the perception of space. The clocks flowing through space and time, prompt thoughts of the flow of time, and give the impression of a time and space of memory unconsciously giving us the perception of the present as , Dream Time.

 

Tom Friedman, Born 1953, American,’MonsterFly’, 2008. I am going to talk about the form. Made of plastic,hair, wire, dust, wood and paint he also manipulated a photograph in this work.1.3x2x0.8cm and he’s made a little wooden figure 0.7×0.7x2cm, he’s made the figure  look like its walking. He liked the way this art work looked to him, which was graphically strong, mysterious and ambiguous.

!H.R Giger, Born in Switzerland 1940,In 1980 he Won an Oscar for the movie ‘Alien’,his stunning creatures and atmosphere of the movie made him a Star. H.R.Giger ‘National Park’, Oil on canvas. I just have to speak about the form of his work, there are four molars in the middle of the painting, I counted fourteen heads from a three eye baby, a birds face, to a strange human like skull with tubes protruding from it. Amazing half is made of mechanical looking parts pipes ect, but the other half is like a bit of concrete and the rest out of this world Alien forms. I must mention the one large safety-pin on the top right hand side.

Francis Bacon,1909-1992, ‘Painting’, 1946, Oil on canvas .I believe this to be about the Method, for ‘Painting’ that is recognized as one of Bacon’s masterpieces. Flesh is a major part of the work, which went on to become a central theme throughout the rest of his career. Even his portraits took on the appearance of flesh that could as easily be hanging in a butcher shop. In an interview, Bacon said the following about his 1946 painting “It came to me as an accident. I was attempting to make a bird alighting on a field. And it may have been bound up in some way with three forms that had gone before, but suddenly the line that I had drawn suggested something totally different and out of this suggestion  arose this picture. I had no intention to do this picture: I never thought of it in that way. It was like one continuous accident mounting on top of another”. So from Bacon’s quotation, there is such a process called The accidental Method !

 

       M.C Escher, 1899-1972, Born in Leewarden,The Infinite, Date unknown. I’m now going to bring up Method which applies to both of these works we have in the gallery at the momment.Escher didnt come up with his ideas out of nothing, well I’m sure literally no real artist does that I know of, but If you do please leave me a comment.His insperation sources were,+The structure of the plane, +The structure of space, +The repetition of geometric patterns,+Before the working out of his woodcuts, he always tried them out first on paper. When Escher made  his works of art, he always followed certain themes for example ,The Infinite and The Impossible.

 

        M.C Escher,1899-1972, Leewarden,’The Impossible’, There was no general agreement if Escher’s work is art or mathematics.Some critics say its art because of the hight-aesthetical value, others says its mathematics because he used methods of crystallography for the construction. I just gave you a brief outline on the context of most of his works .
